Well, actually I always use the Unix date format because is easier to

Asunto: RE: getting the number of years between two dates
Actually figured out one of my own:
FLOOR(PERIOD_DIFF(EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM NOW()),EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM
UserDOB))/ 12) as Age
It's amazing what you can think of as soon as you ask the question.

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)
