Calculating the difference of to dates

ruby-talk
1

I want to calculate the difference (days, hours, minutes)
between a given date out of a mysql database (2007-07-07, date) and
the current date (Time.now).

How can I achieve this?

Thanx

ex:

  require 'parsedate'

  sql_time = Time.mktime(*ParseDate.parsedate("2007-07-07"))
  cur_time = Time.now

  difference = cur_time - sql_time # result will be in seconds

Hope that helps.
