如何从SQL中的给定日期获取一个月前的日期？

Question

I am trying to get a month dates from the @EndDate including provided date ( @EndDate ) in SQ Server 2008.

@NoOfMonths is a variable which decides how much previous months dates we need. eg

@EndDate = 2020-07-28
@NoOfMonths = 6

Expected result would be:

2020-07-28
2020-06-28
2020-05-28
2020-04-28
2020-03-28
2020-02-28

I am trying using below recursive CTE query, however the results are not expected, I am getting month end dates.

@EndDate:  2020-07-28
@NoOfMonths = 6

Result:

2020-07-31
2020-06-30
2020-05-31
2020-04-30
2020-03-31
2020-02-29

Code:

DECLARE @EndDate DATE = CAST('2020 - 07 - 28' AS DATE);
DECLARE @NoOfMonths INT = 6;    

WITH CTE_previousMonths AS 
(
    SELECT   
        CAST(DATEADD(ss, -1, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, -1, @EndDate), 0)) AS DATE) AS MonthPriorDate,
        1 AS months
    UNION ALL
    SELECT   
        CAST(DATEADD(ss, -1, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, MonthPriorDate), 0)) AS DATE) AS MonthPriorDate,
        months + 1 AS months
    FROM     
        CTE_previousMonths
    WHERE    
        months < @NoOfMonths
)
SELECT CTE_previousMonths.MonthPriorDate
FROM CTE_previousMonths;

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think this should do what you want:

with n as (
      select 1 as n
      union all
      select n + 1
      from n
      where n < @NoOfMonths
     )
select dateadd(month, 1 - n, @enddate)
from n;

Using Eomonth function:

WITH cte1 as
    (
    select EOMONTH('2020-07-28') as last_date, DATEADD(MONTH, -5, EOMONTH('2020-07-28')) AS END_DATE--Number of months - 1
    union all
    select DATEADD(MONTH, -1, last_date), END_DATE FROM CTE1 WHERE LAST_DATE > END_DATE
    )
    SELECT last_date FROM cte1;
