I believe I tried dextract and got an error, but I’ll try again. Thanks.

I’m doing the subtraction in a select statement (generating a computed column in a temporary table), and getting the difference in datetime format! As in ‘01/02/1900 12:00 AM’ instead of 2. Any ideas as to how I can display it as an integer? (besides for creating the temporary table first, then inserting the values. I tried that, but it’s having other unclear issues, so was wondering if there’s a direct way to do this.) Thanks.

Is there a function that returns the difference between two dates in integer format, like datediff in SQL?
