The INTERVAL command is what you are looking for. It doesn't have to be SECOND
(with no S), you could use day, hour ,week, etc.
SELECT * FROM t WHERE TimeCol<(now() - INTERVAL X SECOND)

It's late and I just gave up reading the manual. Can someone please
tell me the easiest way to do a query that will return all rows with a
time stamp that is X number of seconds older than the current time?
Something like this.....
SELECT * FROM t
WHERE TimeCol < (now() - 60*60*24*3)
Yes I know that is just 3 days but other times I will want to find
records that are a few hours old so I like using the formula.
