select * from test_Dates;

-- DATEDIFF: Calculates the difference between two date, time, or timestamp


expressions based on the date or time part requested.
-- The function returns the result of subtracting the second argument
from the third argument.
-- The minus sign (“-“) can also be used to subtract dates.

select * from test_dates;
