How to find previous date

  • hi,

    Can anyone give me the query to get the date which is 4 days back.

    Say current date and time is 2009-09-08 13:34:38.327 which I can get from select getdate(). Now I want to get the datetime which is 3 days before date. So in this case 2009-09-05 13:34:38.327. How to find it through t-sql.

  • Use DATEADD, with a negative number of days.

    select getdate(),DATEADD(day,-3,getdate())
