In fact it will list none, but you can make a working version if you include the year (for those
still trying ;-):

SELECT
PersonName,
Birthday
FROM
Persons
WHERE
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE) * 10000 +
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM Birthday) * 100 +
EXTRACT(DAY FROM Birthday)
BETWEEN
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE) * 10000 +
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE) * 100 +
EXTRACT(DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE) and
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE + 14) * 10000 +
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE + 14) * 100 +
EXTRACT(DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE + 14)
or
(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE) + 1) * 10000 +
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM Birthday) * 100 +
EXTRACT(DAY FROM Birthday)
BETWEEN
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE) * 10000 +
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE) * 100 +
EXTRACT(DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE) and
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE + 14) * 10000 +
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE + 14) * 100 +
EXTRACT(DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE + 14)

Not nice syntax to look at, but it should work :)
