Select records from start of month to current date

Question

I\'m trying to select records that were added to the database between the start of the current month and the current day - I more or less know how to get records from the curren

Answer 1

Basically what you're doing here is Getting the Month, appending '/01' and then appending the year. Casting it as a string to handle the appending, then casting it as a DateTime.

So it's a little bit more involved than doing any sort of date math, but it's readable I think.

DECLARE @firstOfMonth DATETIME
SET @firstOfMonth = CAST(CAST(DATEPART(mm, GetDate()) as varchar) + '/01/' + cast(DATEPART(yyyy, Getdate()) as varchar) as datetime)

WHERE DateToCheck BETWEEN @firstOfMonth and GetDate()
