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.
