You can use java.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse() to convert a string to a Date object. Once you have that you can compare it to "new Date()" any way you like (the current Date will of course have hours, minutes and so on set, so if you're just interested in the day you can't compare them directly using compareTo).

Hi Why don't you handle this in your query itself? Sysdate will give you current date and time, and the date of joining that would have been stored in the table can be subtracted. If its stored as Varchar(instead of date) use the inbuilt to_date function. This, alongwith a bit of googling will get you through. Jhakda

You will want to format the difference also you might want to parse a string to a date.
