How to calculate age (in years) based on Date of Birth and getDate()

Question

I have a table listing people along with their date of birth (currently a nvarchar(25))

How can I convert that to a date, and then calculate their age in years?

Answer 1

select DATEDIFF(yy,@DATE,GETDATE()) -
case when DATEPART(mm,GETDATE())*100+DATEPART(dd,GETDATE())>=
DATEPART(mm,@DATE)*100+DATEPART(dd,@DATE) THEN 0
ELSE 1 END
