Need to be able to calculate the age of an indivudual for example I want to find indivuduals who are 6 this year. Not six as of January 1 but 6 as of their birhtdate no matter when it falls in the year. 6 as of that date. I am using PowerBuilder 6.5, which as a function called Datediff but I need an SQL command that will perform similar actions. [sig][/sig]

birthdate calculation
- Thread starter suzmcc

Date functions tend to be RDBMS specific so getting a general SQL function would probably be fairly protracted.
If my memory is correct Ingres would be something like this
SELECT table.name, table.birthdate
FROM table
WHERE (table.birthdate + '6 years') > date('today'); [sig]<p>Ged Jones<br><a href= > </a><br>Top man[/sig]

If I understand your question you need any birthday between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 six years ago. In Oracle you can get this with the following query.
SELECT table.name, table.birthdate
FROM table
WHERE table.birthday is between
add_months(trunc(sysdate,'yyyy'),-72)
AND
last_day(add_months(trunc(sysdate,'yyyy'),-61))

How can I query age from a birthdate?
I suppose to derive the birthdate to value, but I don't know how
