If DOB is less than Current date, this query will not work.

Solution 1

Try this in SQL.

DECLARE @BirthDay smalldatetime
SET @BirthDay = '2011-08-21'

SELECT DATEDIFF(day, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, DATEADD(year, DATEDIFF(year, @BirthDay, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
       + CASE WHEN DATEADD(year, DATEDIFF(year, @BirthDay, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), @BirthDay) < CURRENT_TIMESTAMP 
       THEN 1 ELSE 0 END, @BirthDay))
