Re: Tenure in years and months between two dates

you can try this,

sel
Cast((((('2009-02-01')(date))-(('2008-01-01')(date)))year(4)) As
integer)||'year(s)'||
Cast((((('2009-02-01')(date))-(('2008-01-01')(date)))month(4)) As
integer) mod 12||'month(s)'

Re: Tenure in years and months between two dates

This doesn't seem to work correctly.

select Cast((((('2007-01-31')(date))-(('2005-07-01')(date))) year(4)) As
integer) as years;
This gives the result of 2 which is incorrect. There is actually only1 year
and 6 months between the two dates.
Anybody have a solution to determine the correct number of FULL
years between two dates? I know I can get the number of days and
divide by 365 but that doesn't work when leap years are invovled.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
2 is only "incorrect" for a human being, but "correct" for Standard SQL
:-)

SELECT
DATE'20070131'ASdt1,
DATE'20050701'ASdt2,
((dt1(INT))(dt2(INT)))/10000ASage

SELECT date '2011-02-28' as dt1,

date '2000-07-29' as dt2,

(dt1 - dt2) as no_of_days,

(dt1 - dt2)/365 as no_of_yrs1,

 cast((dt1 - dt2)/365.25 as integer) as no_of_yrs2,

extract (year from dt1) - extract (year from dt2)

- case when extract(month from dt1) lt extract(month

from dt2) then 1

else (case when extract(day from dt1) lt extract(day

from dt2) then 1 else 0 end) end as no_of_yrs3;

Re: Tenure in years and months between two dates

Can I suggest you use the SYS_CALENDAR.CALENDAR for doing this?

Even better, queries using it are easy to understand and maintain. It is,
however, very Teradata-ish.
