Hi SQL experts,

I would like to ask on how to get the date difference of 2 dates

(Sample Date)
regdate
2009-05-25 09:30:00

current date
2009-06-01 11:00:00

(The results should be like this)
Results : 7 Days 1hr 30 mins

select tot_mins,
days = tot_mins / (24 * 60),
hours = (tot_mins / 60) % 24,
mins = tot_mins % 60
from
(
select tot_mins = datediff(minute, '2009-05-25 09:30', getdate())

You can also use

select DATEDIFF(MI , '2009-05-25 09:30', Getdate()),
DATEDIFF(MI , '2009-05-25 09:30', Getdate()) / (24 * 60),
DATEDIFF(MI , '2009-05-25 09:30', Getdate()) % 24,
DATEDIFF(MI , '2009-05-25 09:30', Getdate()) % 60
