Hi, My intention is to get the datedifference(in no of days) between the current date and a previously entered date which is in a table(of course this date is lower in value than the current date).When I used this query: select FROM_DAYS(TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) - TO_DAYS('2001-08-30'));
Here the problem comes is that it is checks first the year,then the month and then the days;and if anywhere it finds that the difference is a negative value,it prints as follows: -----------------------------------------------------+ FROM_DAYS(TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) - TO_DAYS('2001-08-30')) -----------------------------------------------------+ 0000-00-00 | -----------------------------------------------------+ So how can I rectify this problem?
