I am looking for period dates (start and end) for Consecutive Halves. Like as of today (9/24/2019) looking for sql's which can give following outputs and that would be dynamic as per current date.


Period	       Start Date	End Date
First Half	1-Jan-19	30-Jun-19
Previous Half	1-Jul-18	31-Dec-18


I was trying something below but it seems need lot of if else statements

select (case when extract(month from sysdate) <= 6 then 1
else 2
end) as half_year
from dual)

With any SQL question, Post a working Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will be able work with your table and data. Explain with words and sentences the rules that lead to this result.
...
Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals, as solution depends on it.
...
And don't forget to feedback to your topics.

select  case level
          when 1 then 'First Half'
          else 'Previous Half'
        end period,
        add_months(trunc(sysdate,'yy'),6 * (1 - level)) start_date,
        add_months(trunc(sysdate,'yy'),6 * (2 - level)) - 1 end_date
  from  dual
  connect by level <= 2
/

PERIOD        START_DAT END_DATE
------------- --------- ---------
First Half    01-JAN-19 30-JUN-19
Previous Half 01-JUL-18 31-DEC-18
