Answer 1

For MYSQL: you may use date_add:

 SELECT * FROM ratepersqft 
WHERE date < Now() and date > DATE_ADD(Now(), INTERVAL- 6 MONTH);

For SQL Server:, dateadd :

  SELECT * FROM ratepersqft 
 WHERE date < Now() and date > DATEADD(Month, -6, Now());

**Please wrap your date column name with backticks given it is a reserved key word. **

MYSQL update:

SQLFIDDLE DEMO

SELECT *
FROM ratepersqft 
WHERE date_format(date,'%Y-%m') < 
                     date_format(now(),'%Y-%m')
and date_format(date,'%Y-%m') >= 
                     date_format(now() - interval 6 month,'%Y-%m')
order by date desc;
