Please look at the follow code:
- The variable @Date has the value is 201012 (yyyymm)
- Now, I want to increse the month(mm) in the @Date variable to 1
I had done this thing by 2 ways as the following code:
DECLARE @Date int = 201012
-- way 1
SELECT CONVERT(INT,SUBSTRING(CONVERT(CHAR(8),DATEADD(MONTH,1,Convert(Date,CONVERT(char(8),CONVERT(CHAR(6),@Date)+'01'),8)),112),1,6))
-- way 2
SELECT CASE WHEN CONVERT(INT,SUBSTRING(CONVERT(CHAR(6),@Date),5,2))>11 THEN @Date+89 ELSE @Date + 1 End
Do you have any good way which is better than 2 ways above ?:-D

U can try this

SELECT

CASE WHEN (@Date % 100) = 12 THEN

((@Date / 100) + 1) * 100 + 1

ELSE

(@Date / 100) * 100 + (@Date % 100) + 1

END

:w00t: oh, good SQL. I'm rewrite your SQL and...

SELECT

CASE WHEN (@Date % 100) = 12 THEN

@Date + 89

ELSE

@Date + 1

END

Thanks for your support, 😀

Hi nguyennd,

You are genius 🙂

I was so detailed with mod, division, etc.

You made the query more simple.

The best way to deal with date values is to store it as date values.

So, instead of having an integer value it woul be a lot better and easier to store it as datetime or date (if you're on SS2K8).

Just my 2 cents...

Just another option:

select convert(char(6), dateadd(mm, 1, dateadd(mm, right(@Date, 2) - 1, dateadd(yy, cast(left(@Date,4) as int) - 1900, 0))), 112)

select

*,

NextMonth =

convert(char(6),dateadd(mm,(((DT/100)-1900)*12)+(Dt%100),0),112)

from

( -- Test Data

select DT = 201011 union all

select DT = 201012 union all

select DT = 201101

) a

Results:

DT NextMonth

----------- ---------

201011 201012

201012 201101

201101 201102

(3 row(s) affected)

Shorter?

select @Date+case when @date%100=12 then 89 else 1 end

Shorter?
select @Date+case when @date%100=12 then 89 else 1 end

Even shorter?

SELECT @Date+1+88*((@date%100)/12)

hi

This is my way..

declare @date varchar(100)='201012'

select convert(varchar(6),dateadd(M,1,convert(date,@date+'01')),112)

That's fine - but why use VARCHAR for fixed-length data? 😉

Ditto. I'll also add that since we're adding months one at a time, there's probably a cursor or While Loop involved somewhere here. 😉

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

SELECT @Date+1+88*(@date%100/12)
