Hello,
I'm sure this is a simple query but haven't come up with a good
approach. Need to get the number of days between two dates. IE:
today's date: (2006-04-01 - 2006-03-05)
need to calculate the number of days between these dates.. what is
the best query statement to accomplish this?
TIA,
Mike,
You probably want to use something like this:
SELECT TO_DAYS('2006-03-15') - TO_DAYS('2006-03-01');
Thanks, that works, also using the DAYOFYEAR produces the same results
as I just found :)
appreciate the help
Mike
Mike,
DAYOFYEAR works only well if both dates are in the same year.
SELECT DAYOFYEAR('2006-01-01') - DAYOFYEAR('2005-12-31');
results in a negative number.
