| Hi I have an age (int) column from 0-100 and I have a date (date) column, currently NULL. I would like to update the date column with a date incrementing by 1 year. So starting with 01/01/1900 the date column would increment as below up to age 100. I know DATEADD should be used here but I'm not exactly sure how to implement it. age date 0 01/01/19001 01/01/19012 01/01/1902etc....Any help would be appreciated Thanks |

| Great, Thanks SenthilI didn't realize it was so simple. I was expecting to have to use a cursor or while loop or something. |
