Date Math

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  I've read both Section 8.5 of the on-line 8.2.4 docs, and the pertinent
sections of Douglas & Douglas, and I'm still not certain that I'm correctly
expressing the query I want. Please correct as needed.

  From table (Permits) I want to identify those which expire within a
specified time from today. For example:

	SELECT permit_nbr, title, date_issued, term,
		process_time from Permits
	WHERE (date_issued + term YEARS)
		< (CURRENT_DATE + process_time MONTHS);

  Should I use TODAY rather than CURRENT_DATE? Do I need to cast intervals
explicitly from seconds to days, months, or years?
