SELECT查询中返回太多空格的格式问题

Question

I asked a previous question the other day about adding a new column that returns a date two days after. I am now getting the results I need, however the spacing between the two dates (the original and the date plus 2) is returning 109 characters and I can't for the life of me figure out how to return it with only a few spaces between.

The format of the original SELECT statement is fine, however after the ,lastupdate + 2 is where the issue lays I believe.

I've attempted to put the same "||' '||" format between the "e.lastupdate, e.lastupdate + 2", but the query fails to run when this happens. It returns an "Invalid Number" error.

select p.id||'    '||p.lastname||'    '||p.firstname||'    '|| e.lastupdate, e.lastupdate + 2
from table p, othertable e

where p.id = e.id 
and hold = 8 
and id in (
select id from othertable 
where buildinginfo is null
) 
order by id;

Actual Results (Not showing correct on StackOverflow, but there's 109 spaces between 05-SEP-18 and 07-SEP-18):

000000000    Scott    Michael    05-SEP-18                                                                                                         07-SEP-18

Expected Results:

000000000    Scott    Michael    05-SEP-18    07-SEP-18

Answer 1

Solved it! Ended up putting a parenthesis around the "e.lastupdate +2" and it actually ran!

select p.id||' '||p.lastname||' '||p.firstname||' '|| e.lastupdate||' '||
       (e.lastupdate + 2) 
from table p, othertable e 
where p.id = e.id 
and hold = 8 
and id in 
         ( select id from othertable
           where buildinginfo is null ) 
order by id;
