Possible recursive CTE query using date ranges

Question

Not sure how to even phrase the title on this one!

I have the following data:

IF OBJECT_ID (\'tempdb..#data\') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #data
CREATE TA         


        

Answer 1

DECLARE @date DATE = GETDATE()

;WITH MonthsCTE AS (
    SELECT 1 [Month], DATEADD(DAY, -DATEPART(DAY, @date)+1, @date) as 'MonthStart'
    UNION ALL
    SELECT [Month] + 1, DATEADD(MONTH, 1, MonthStart)
    FROM MonthsCTE 
    WHERE [Month] < 12 )

SELECT * FROM MonthsCTE
