one thing....looks like you need one more outer set of paren's to tie both
sets of the equation together.
query = SELECT *, ((Year(Now()) - Year(BDAY)) + ((DAYOFYEAR(Now())
-DAYOFYEAR(BDAY))/365)) as AGE FROM Katalog WHERE AGE >= 31 AND AGE <= 50
AND IS_MEM_EXP = 0 AND IS_OPEN = 1 ORDER BY INPUT_DATE DESC

Subject: Calculated field in MySQL

Hello,
I got the following error message from MySQL:
---
Query failed.
MySQL said:
Unknown column 'AGE' in 'where clause'
query = SELECT *, (Year(Now()) - Year(BDAY)) +
((DAYOFYEAR(Now())-DAYOFYEAR(BDAY))/365) as AGE FROM Katalog WHERE AGE >=
31
AND AGE <= 50 AND IS_MEM_EXP = 0 AND IS_OPEN = 1 ORDER BY INPUT_DATE DESC
---
Now, obviously the column should exist, since I am creating it in the
query,
but I do not seem to be able to find the bug.
If I would have used Access, I would have created a query inside the
database from my table and SELECT from that, but since I am not I have to
find other ways.
What I would like to do the most, would be to create a field in the table,
which would calculate the field inside the database, but it does not seem
to
be possible, though it would save me a lot of trouble every time I need
that
column in my application.
Could someone either tell me whats wrong with my query or tell me what I
need to do to make such a calculated field.
Much appreciated.
