Hello, is there some way every day to calculate the remaining days? Where the application with the final date in a table and start date would be the current date. In the same table have a field called Remaining days to be updated every day, another alternative would be a function that every day would subtract a value to this field to get to 0. Any suggestions? I have the same ideas of how to be there asking for your help.

Solution 1

You can try DATEDIFF (Transact-SQL)[^] which returns the count (signed integer) of the specified datepart boundaries crossed between the specified startdate and enddate.

Also have look on some CP Articles & QA[^] on same.

In SQL Server Current Date = GetDate()

Solution 2

In SQL, use datediff(dd, getdate(), [last_date_column]). You can add it to your query, you don't need to add it to the table. You can filter negative numbers in the where clause, or replace them by zero using CASE.
Hope this helps,
Pablo.
