    Hi Scott,

    I executed the code today..

    Declare @StartDate Datetime,

    @EndDate Datetime

    if DAY(@StartDate) >= 7

    set @StartDate = DATEADD(day, -15, DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0))

    else

    set @StartDate = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH,...

    Of course that code doesn't specify the date key, so it will do a full table scan. Again, vastly too much overhead when two very simple arithmetic...

  • RE: Need to calculate nth day of nth month

    It's not nearly that complicated to get the nth given day of any month:

    DECLARE @SecondTuesdayOfMonth_InThreeMonths datetime2

    --set to last possible day = 14th of month, then ...

    SET @SecondTuesdayOfMonth_InThreeMonths = DATEADD(DAY, 13,...

    SQL Agent schedules all of it jobs from msdb, and I don't see anything that looks like a calendar table in it.

    It's more efficient to avoid I/O when you can.

    There could be a trade off for CPU and coding effort. If you wrapped the calculation into an iTVF...

  • RE: Date Function

    I think this will do the same thing, much more simply and clearly:

    Declare @StartDate DATETIME,

    @EndDate DATETIME

    if DAY(@StartDate) >= 7

    set @StartDate = DATEADD(day, -15, DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0,...

    No, I wouldn't worry about indexing/clustering for the other result sets if they are created as part of the main query.
