Got this nearly worked out now, but somehow I can't get the nested case

syntax right:
SELECT

date('2006-10-14', '+' || (strftime('%Y', 'now') - strftime('%Y',
'2006-10-14')) || ' years') <= date('now')
then
case when
strftime('%d', 'now') > strftime('%d', '2006-10-14')

((strftime('%Y', 'now') - strftime('%Y', '2006-10-14')) * 12 +

You have an extra closing bracket in the line above.
(strftime('%m', 'now') - strftime('%m', '2006-10-14'))
end
else
case when
strftime('%d', 'now') > strftime('%d', '2006-10-14')
then
((strftime('%Y', 'now') - strftime('%Y', '2006-10-14') -1) * 12 +
(strftime('%m', 'now') +
(12 - strftime('%m', '2006-10-14')))) -1
else
(strftime('%Y', 'now') - strftime('%Y', '2006-10-14') -1) * 12 +
(strftime('%m', 'now') +
(12 - strftime('%m', '2006-10-14')))
end
end
It will give me an error (from my VB wrapper) syntax error near else.
Any idea what is wrong here?
Try this instead, I find the extra indentation makes it easier to see what
you are doing.
