How do I do that? The contaxt is that I want to get somebody's age based
upon the current date.

There are several examples in the mailing list archives; but try subtracting the UNIX_TIMESTAMP of each date (which is the time in seconds) and then divide by the number of seconds in a year (~365*86400) ...
