I have a field in one of my tables called renew_date. The renew_date is always the first of every month. My requirement is to have a query that's run on the first of every month to select records that have renew_date coming up in the next 150 days.(5 months from today).

ANY help is really appreciated.

SELECT * FROM Table1
WHERE renew_date >= DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), 0)
AND renew_data < DATEADD(MONTH, 5, DATEDIFF(DAY, -1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))

E 12°55'05.25"
N 56°04'39.16"

In case the report isn't run until, say, the second of the month, or a renew_date is some date within a month, rather than the 1st of the moth, I would use:


WHERE     renew_date >= DATEADD(Month, DATEDIFF(Month, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), 0)
      AND renew_data < DATEADD(Month, DATEDIFF(Month, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)+5, 0)
