[sqr-users] Oracle Date Arithmetic



I need to subtract 100 yrs from some dates.  
JD363258        14-FEB-2097 
needs to be 14-FEB-1997

If I do an oracle query I get a March date in the correct year.  I know
this is due to leap year so I need to add a day for every day that's a
leap year.
Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

select to_char(since_dt - 36500,dd-mon-yyyy')
from ps_customer
where cust_id = JD363258;
SQL> /

TO_CHAR(SIN
-----------
11-mar-1997
