How do I calculate the number of days between two dates in SQL?

Use the DATEDIFF() function to retrieve the number of days between two dates in a MySQL database. This function takes two arguments: The end date. (In our example, it's the expiration_date column.)

How do I count the number of Sundays between two dates in SQL?

The statement DATEDIFF(dd,@fromdate,@todate) + 1 gives the number of dates between the two dates. The statement DATEDIFF(wk,@fromdate,@todate) gives the number of weeks between dates and * 2 gives us the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) count. The next two statements excludes the day if it's a Saturday or Sunday.

How can I compare two dates in SQL?

This can be easily done using equals to(=), less than(<), and greater than(>) operators. In SQL, the date value has DATE datatype which accepts date in 'yyyy-mm-dd' format. To compare two dates, we will declare two dates and compare them using the IF-ELSE statement.

Thank you t-clausen.dk, Saved me few days. To get no of instances of each day:

declare @from datetime= '3/1/2013' 
declare @to datetime  = '3/31/2013' 


select 
 datediff(day, -7, @to)/7-datediff(day, -6, @from)/7 AS MON,
 datediff(day, -6, @to)/7-datediff(day, -5, @from)/7 AS TUE,
 datediff(day, -5, @to)/7-datediff(day, -4, @from)/7 AS WED,
 datediff(day, -4, @to)/7-datediff(day, -3, @from)/7 AS THU,
 datediff(day, -3, @to)/7-datediff(day, -2, @from)/7 AS FRI,
 datediff(day, -2, @to)/7-datediff(day, -1, @from)/7 AS SAT,
 datediff(day, -1, @to)/7-datediff(day, 0, @from)/7 AS SUN
