> This is used to track work to build Oracle like months_between. Here's
> semantics:
> MONTHS_BETWEEN returns number of months between dates date1 and date2. If
> date1 is later than date2, then the result is positive. If date1 is earlier
> than date2, then the result is negative. If date1 and date2 are either the
> same days of the month or both last days of months, then the result is always
> an integer. Otherwise Oracle Database calculates the fractional portion of
> the result based on a 31-day month and considers the difference in time
> components date1 and date2.
> Should accept date, timestamp and string arguments in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd'
> or 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'.
> The result should be rounded to 8 decimal places.
