Subject RE: [IBDI] Calculating Age of a person without using free udf's
Author Leyne, Sean
Louis,

In future support questions should really be posted to the IB-Support
list at Yahoogroups, this is really not a support list.

To your question, how accurate do you want the answer to be?

If all you want to age in years, then something like AGE = (TODAY -
BIRTHDAY) / 365.25 is a good approximation.

Anything more accurate than that without UDF, well I'll leave that to
the SQL gurus.
