Comparison date query

Post by quokkaz » Wed Jan 29, 2014 11:24 am

Hi,
I have the following query which works fine:
SELECT Families.

Code: Select all

, Families.[Fathers name], Families.[Mothers name], Families.[Change date], Families.[Changed]
FROM Families
WHERE  ( Families.[Change date] < JDATE('1 jan 2003') )
Order by Families.[Change date]

I would like to change the query so I don't have to change the date.  Ideally I would like it to be say ten years ago.  I tried using Dateadd(years,-10,curdate()) and other 'googled' variations without success.

Is this possible?

Hi,

Sorry. This sort of date comparison is not possible. Dates must be converted to julian dates in the format used internally by K&KPro and only literal dates can appear inside a JDATE() function. See Kith and Kin Pro manual - SQL Syntax
