Ladies and Gentlemen,

        Do any of you out there have links to a SQL reference for ADSM ( I
already have the documentation from the Administrator's guide) or a SQL
92/93 reference?  I am interested specifically with doing date calculations
using fields from DB, BACKUPS,  and FILESPACES and NODES.  Particularly, I
need to be able to add & subtact dates at a whim.  THe command line adsm
client allows queries against ACTLOG like so:

                q actlog begindate=TODAY-1 begintime=17:00:00 enddate=TODAY
endtime=05:59:59

effectively delivering me a specific date range from the activity log.

Utilizing the same general syntax (which does not work), I think you can
ascertain what I'm trying to get from the following:

Example:  (from the shell)

        dsmadmc -id=id -pa=pa -outfile=out.file -commadelimited "select
NODE_NAME,PWSET_TIME from NODES where PWSET_TIME>TODAY-100"

I want a listing of all PWSET times older than around 100 days.  Thataways I
can harass those folks to change their passwords (Hospital policy prevents
from using PW aging techniques...one person can't get logged in fast enough,
someone has less of a chance of surviving trauma).

So then, to acheive the above desired result, what would my syntax be to
select all the node_name(s) and PW_SET dates older than 100 days?

Thanks!
