Adding days to date in ORACLE SELECT

I need to add 7 days to SYSDATE. I wish to do this in my SELECT statement. How do you do it? I cannot seem to find the function(if there is one) that does this in ORACLE. Can you help?

Thanks in advance...

Just use + 7 - it treats addition/subtraction as a number of days by default

ie/ SELECT SYSDATE+7 FROM DUAL

Hope this helps
