I was thinking about adding something to the effect of a CASE statement using the ISDATE function to check if it is a date. But the following does not work either
select personid from persondemographic(nolock)
where demographicgroupid =3
and demographicitemid = 4
CASE
WHEN isdate(demographicvaluedesc) =1 THEN cast(demographicvaluedesc as datetime) > getdate()
ELSE
END

You can't just take a number away from a date
1 what? 1 nanosecond? 1 year?
Use DateAdd() and ti should fix it
Also, check the values in your "demographicvaluedesc" field - if any of
them aren't able to be converted to a date, then the whole thing will
fail
