DAYS! The DAY function extracts a day portion from a date value.
DAYS is a duration value, used for date math.

Bah...this is eluding me. I want to select records from a file where a
date value is between current date and 30 days ago. I thought I could
do something like:
mydate between current_date and current_date - 30, but that doesn't
seem to work. Gotta be easy...how do I do it? Thanks!
