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. -Original Message- From: Michael T.

RE: getting the number of years between two dates
Well, actually I always use the Unix date format because is easier to use with PHP... and makes easier to do this kind of calculations... ;) -Mensaje original- De: John Meyer [mailto:johnmeyer_1978;yahoo.com] Enviado el: jueves, 07 de noviembre de 2002 15:20 Para: Michael T.

That kind of depends on what you mean by the number of years between two dates. For example, do you define the number of years between 2000-12-31 and 2001-01-01 as 0 or as 1 or as some fractional number? thanks, Augusto -- Paul DuBois, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
