Question

As part of database testing, we are to verify if the data is correctly rendered onto the webpage from database.

We have a table called ’emp_details’ which stores employee details. We store joining date of an employee in it. Now, using this joining date field, I need to get a list all the employees who have a start date or anniversary date within the last ten days.

I tried various combinations of DATEDIFF() in MySQL but did not succeed.

The format on the webpage would look like this:

Name       Start Date        Years
----------------------------------
William    07/25/2004          8
Gordon     07/22/2007          5
Jill       07/26/2009          3

Could anyone please help me with the query for MySQL DB.

Thanks,
