You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Make sure that you're using a sensible database (it doesn't really matter which for this example).
Create a stored procedure called spCalculateAge which:
- Declares an integer variable called @Age
- Sets the value of this variable to be the difference in years between your date of birth and today's date (see hint below)
- Prints out your age
The final result of running the stored procedure should look like this:
You will be younger, of course ...
You can use the DateDiff function to calculate your age in SQL - eg DateDiff(year,'03/04/1964',GetDate()) would give the age of a hypothetical trainer born on 4th March 1964.
Optionally, save the query to generate this stored procedure as Calculate your age.sql, then close it down.
