--crap made a booboo
--corrected code here
--Both use the dateadd function provided by t-sql, I'm sure
oracle and others have similar functions
--this way is a little slower and costlier
select *
FROM sys.tables
where modify_date between dateadd(yy, -5, getdate() ) and
getdate()
--this way is faster and less costly, by not doing the same
--function for every row.
declare @now datetime
, @then datetime
select @now = convert(datetime, convert(varchar, getdate()))
, @then = dateadd(yy, -5, @now)
Select *
from sys.tables
where modify_date between @then and @now
