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?
                 Abhilash
