How to calculate age in T-SQL with years months and days

Question

What would be the best way to calculate someone s age in years  months  and days in T-SQL  SQL Server 2000    The datediff function doesn t handle year boundaries well  plus getting the months and days separate will be a bear   I know I can do it on the client side relatively easily  but I d like to have it done in my stored procedure

Try this     SELECT CASE WHEN   DATEADD year DATEDIFF year   datestart    dateend     datestart   gt   dateend  THEN DATEDIFF year   datestart    dateend  -1 ELSE DATEDIFF year   datestart    dateend  END   Basically the  DateDiff  year      gives you the age the person will turn this year  so i have just add a case statement to say  if they have not had a birthday yet this year  then subtract 1 year  else return the value

DateTime values in T-SQL are stored as floats  You can just subtract the dates from each other and you now have a new date that is the timespan between them   declare  birthdate datetime set  birthdate    6 15 1974   --age in years - short version print year getdate   -  birthdate  - year 0   --age in years - visualization declare  mindate datetime declare  span datetime  set  mindate   0 set  span   getdate   -  birthdate  print  mindate print  birthdate print getdate   print  span --substract minyear from spanyear to get age in years print year  span  - year  mindate  print month  span  print day  span

There is an easy way  based on the hours between the two days BUT with the end date truncated    SELECT CAST DATEDIFF hour Birthdate CAST GETDATE   as Date   8766 0 as INT  AS Age FROM  lt YourTable gt    This one has proven to be extremely accurate and reliable  If it weren t for the inner CAST on the GETDATE   it might flip the birthday a few hours before midnight but  with the CAST  it is dead on with the age changing over at exactly midnight

Here is some T-SQL that gives you the number of years  months  and days since the day specified in  date   It takes into account the fact that DATEDIFF   computes the difference without considering what month or day it is  so the month diff between 8 31 and 9 1 is 1 month  and handles that with a case statement that decrements the result where appropriate   DECLARE  date datetime   tmpdate datetime   years int   months int   days int SELECT  date    2 29 04   SELECT  tmpdate    date  SELECT  years   DATEDIFF yy   tmpdate  GETDATE    - CASE WHEN  MONTH  date   gt  MONTH GETDATE     OR  MONTH  date    MONTH GETDATE    AND DAY  date   gt  DAY GETDATE     THEN 1 ELSE 0 END SELECT  tmpdate   DATEADD yy   years   tmpdate  SELECT  months   DATEDIFF m   tmpdate  GETDATE    - CASE WHEN DAY  date   gt  DAY GETDATE    THEN 1 ELSE 0 END SELECT  tmpdate   DATEADD m   months   tmpdate  SELECT  days   DATEDIFF d   tmpdate  GETDATE     SELECT  years   months   days

Are you trying to calculate the total days months years of an age  do you have a starting date  Or are you trying to dissect it  ex  24 years  1 month  29 days    If you have a start date that you re working with  datediff will output the total days months years with the following commands   Select DateDiff d  1984-07-12   2008-09-11    Select DateDiff m  1984-07-12   2008-09-11    Select DateDiff yyyy  1984-07-12   2008-09-11     with the respective outputs being  8827 290 24    Now  if you wanted to do the dissection method  you d have to subtract the number of years in days  days - 365 years   and then do further math on that to get the months  etc
