I’m looking to calculate the number of months between 2 date time fields.
Is there a better way than getting the Unix timestamp and then dividing by 2 592 000 (seconds) and rounding up within MySQL?

The DATEDIFF function can give you the number of days between two dates. Which is more accurate, since… how do you define a month? (28, 29, 30, or 31 days?)
