Select Range of SQLDateTimes

Question

table = {{ID1, SQLDateTime[{1978, 1, 10, 0, 0, 0.`}]}, 
{ID2, SQLDateTime[{1999, 1, 10, 0, 0, 0.`}]}, 
{ID3, SQLDateTime[{2010, 9, 10, 0, 0, 0.`}]}, 
{ID4, SQLDateTime[{2011, 1, 10, 0, 0, 0.`}]}}

I'd like to return all cases in table in which the SQLDateTime is within the last year (DatePlus[{-1, "Year"}]). How do I specify a search for those cases?

Answer 1

Select[table, (AbsoluteTime[ DatePlus[{-1, "Year"}]] <= 
    AbsoluteTime[ #[[2, 1]]] <= AbsoluteTime[ ] &)]

(* ==> {{ID3, SQLDateTime[{2010, 9, 10, 0, 0, 0.}]}, 
        {ID4,SQLDateTime[{2011, 1, 10, 0, 0, 0.}]}
        } 
*)

Small update (pre-caching of Date[], based on Leonid's comments):

With[
 {date = Date[]},
 Select[table, 
    (AbsoluteTime[ DatePlus[date, {-1, "Year"}]] <= 
     AbsoluteTime[ #[[2, 1]]] <= AbsoluteTime[date ] &)]
 ]

This also removes a problem with the original DatePlus[{-1, "Year"}] which only takes today's date into account and not the current time.
