I need to add a field that shows the relative month to the current month. For example, it is now April, so for orders that delivered this month, I want the value to return as "0". If the order was delovered in March, I want it to return the value of "1" (as in one month ago) and so on. If the order was delivered in March of 2008, I want it to return the value of "13" (as in 13 months ago). Your help is much appriciated.

select datediff(month, orderDate, getdate())
