Hi,
I have a problem calculating birthdays in sql. Here goes my setup:
I have a database that contains the bithdays of a number of people, and I want to know when there birthday is to congratulate them.
The thing is that I want to now that a day before their birthday. Therefore I need a way to do that, and I do not know how to do it, so I am asking on this list, maybe there is someone that can tell me how.
Regards,
Patrascu Eugeniu
