Calculate Birthday In Years
From Wiki
To calculate a person's age in SQL is pretty straight forward. You take the difference in years and if todays month and date is less than the month and date of the birthdate then you subtract -1
If you run the code below on 2007-11-28 the output is 37, if you change the birth date to 19701129 it return 36
- Select all
- DECLARE @Birthday DATETIME, @DateToCheck DATETIME
- SELECT @Birthday = '19701127', @DateToCheck = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
- SELECT DATEDIFF(YEAR, @Birthday, @DateToCheck) -
- CASE WHEN DATEPART(mm,@Birthday) > DATEPART(mm,@DateToCheck)
- OR (DATEPART(mm,@Birthday) = DATEPART(mm,@DateToCheck)
- AND DATEPART(dd,@Birthday) > DATEPART(dd,@DateToCheck))
- THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
