Subtract two dates in SQL and get days of the result
Use DATEDIFF
Select I.Fee
From Item I
WHERE DATEDIFF(day, GETDATE(), I.DateCreated) < 365
SELECT DATEDIFF(day,'2014-06-05','2014-08-05') AS DiffDate
diffdate is column name.
result:
DiffDate
23
EDIT: It seems I was wrong about the performance on the code example. The best performer is whichever snippet runs second in the posted case. This demonstrates what I was trying to explain, and the time differences are not as dramatic:
----------------------------------
-- Monitor time differences
----------------------------------
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX dtIDX ON #ArbDates (MyDate)
DECLARE @Stopwatch DATETIME
SET @Stopwatch = GETDATE()
-- SARGABLE
SELECT *
FROM #ArbDates
WHERE MyDate > DATEADD(DAY, -364, '2010-01-01')
PRINT DATEDIFF(MS, @Stopwatch, GETDATE())
SET @Stopwatch = GETDATE()
-- NOT SARGABLE
SELECT *
FROM #ArbDates
WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY, MyDate, '2010-01-01') < 365
PRINT DATEDIFF(MS, @Stopwatch, GETDATE())
Excuse me for posting late and my crudely commented example, but I think it important to mention SARG.
SELECT I.Fee
FROM Item I
WHERE I.DateCreated > DATEADD(DAY, -364, GETDATE())
Although the temp table in the code below has no index, the performance is still enhanced by the fact that a comparison is done between an expression and a value in the table and not an expression that modifies the value in the table and a constant. Hope this is found to be useful.
USE tempdb
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#ArbDates') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #ArbDates
DECLARE @Stopwatch DATETIME
