Subj:   Re: Subtraction between dates
 
From:   McCall, Glenn David

I am surprised that your query "Select '2012-02-20' - '2012-02-10'" would produce anything but an error.

So I tried it, and was surprised that I didn't get an error. So I've learnt something. Hopefully I will return the favour.

To get what you want "Kindly let me know how can I get result as this many days difference." Try casting the strings to dates.

     Select cast('2012-02-20' as date) - cast('2012-02-10' as date);
     Result: 41

Also "Kindly let me know how can I get result as this many days difference." This should produce the result you are after:

     Select cast('2012-02-20' as date) - 40
     Result: 2012-01-11
