Description
Operators used with Date expressions and Date/Numeric expressions:
| Operator | Expression1 | Expression2 | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
| + | Date | Numeric | Adds the <expression2> number of days to the date and returns a date |
| - | Date | Numeric | Subtracts the <expression2> number of days from the date and returns a date |
| - | Date | Date | Returns a numeric signifying the number of days between the two dates. If <expression2> is later, a negative number is returned |
Example
SELECT account_no, ord_date – rec_date as "Delivery Delay"; FROM accounts; ORDER BY account_no
