Query a dynamic date range based off current month

  • I’m trying to determine which month I’m in so I can setup aSSIS package to auto run and drop off a file into a folder monthly. The queryneeds to be run on the first of each month but since not all months have thesame # of days the date between logic needs to account for this. I have thelogic figured out thanks to the search function on this forum but my sql skillsare lacking implementing it properly.

    Error:

    Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 31

    Must declare the scalar variable"@BeginMonth".

    [/code]


    --use datediff from 0, ie default 1900 date, to calculate current months as int
    declare @ThisMonth int = datediff(month,0,cast(getdate() as date))
    --add 1 to the current month to get the next month
    declare @NextBom date = dateadd(month,@ThisMonth+1,0)
    -- subtract a day from the beginning of next month to get the current end of month, without worrying about 28, 30, or 31 days.
    declare @EndMonth date = dateadd(day,-1,@NextBom)
    -- Get the first day of the current month
    declare @BeginMonth date = getdate() + (1 - DAY(getdate()))

  • Remove the GO command as it ends the batch so the variables are no longer recognized in the next, different batch.

  • I removed the Go but I still get an error.

    I removed the Go but I still get an error.

    The error message says: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'.  the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon" which means you should have:
    declare @BeginMonth date = getdate() + (1 - DAY(getdate()))  ;
    With FacCode as(

  • I would probably opt for a set based approach where you create a list of dates and then join them against your target dataset to pick out what you need.
    Since your already using a CTE, take advantage of recursion to generate a list of integers and then apply them to a dateadd() function to generate a list of dates based of "todays" date. If you want an offset start the recursion with a negative number as per the example.
    To figure out the  last day of month use  the EOMonth() function (T-SQL)

    DECLARE @MONTHS INT = 10;
    WITH Factors AS (
        SELECT -10 AS Factor
        UNION ALL
        SELECT    Factor + 1
        FROM    Factors
        WHERE    factor+1 <= @MONTHS
    )
    SELECT    Dates = EOMONTH(DATEADD(month, FACTOR, cast(getdatE() as date)))
    FROM    Factors

  • LOL, That's just embarrassing... Thanks that worked perfectly much appreciated.

    Consider NOT using even "small" recursive CTEs for such thing.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • Perhaps you could utilize this:
    Select * from [provider].[tbl_msow_practitioner_id_numbers] where Month(Expiration_date) = Month(DateAdd(m,-1,GetDate())) and Year(Expiration_date ) = Year(DateAdd(m,-1,GetDate())

    Perhaps you could utilize this:
    Select * from [provider].[tbl_msow_practitioner_id_numbers] where Month(Expiration_date) = Month(DateAdd(m,-1,GetDate())) and Year(Expiration_date ) = Year(DateAdd(m,-1,GetDate())

    And now you can't use the index that may exist on the Expiration_date column.
