You could use something like
from_unixtime(to_unixtime(dateField)+(86400*17))
I store dates in unix timestamp format in bigints whenever possible for
this very reason.

Best group member,
I have a field called expiredate of type ‘date’. I would like to add 17
days to the expiredate without doing any scripting, is that possible?
Example:
Expiredate is 2005-11-30 and I want to extend the expiredate with 17
days. Is there any function in MySQL that adds days to a date?
A solution for this would be to write a PHP script that takes the date
and adds 17 days to it (checking month overlap and stuff), but I want to
skip scripting if there is an solution within MySQL that does it for me.
