How would I get the age of someone if I store the birthdate in a date field? I just realized FLOOR((UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(birthdate))/60/60/24/365.25) wont work for persons born before 1970... :p I must get the current age in years, and I must be able to select by age... :p Any ideas?YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - YEAR(dob) - (IF(DAYOFYEAR(dob)>DAYOFYEAR(CURRENT_DATE),1,0)) AS age will work for MySQL, where "dob" is your DATE date of birth column. -- ---John Holmes...
