Since Netezza does not have a datediff function, the ‘old school’ of calculating the difference, in days, between dates must be used.

Subtracting Inclusive Dates

To subtract to day and include end date, as a day, in calculation (1 day is added)

select (date(‘2015-12-31’) – date(‘2015-01-01’))+1 as Inclusive_dates

From _v_dual;

 

Subtracting Non-inclusive dates

To subtract dates non-inclusive simply subtract the dates

select date(‘2015-12-31’) – date(‘2015-01-01’) as Non_Inclusive_dates

From _v_dual;

 

Example SQL From Graphic

select (date(‘2015-12-31’) – date(‘2015-01-01’))+1 as Inclusive_dates,

date(‘2015-12-31’) – date(‘2015-01-01’) as Non_Inclusive_dates

From _v_dual;
