I have 2 columns

RecordDate(DateTime)
Quantity(Int)

I would like to group the data quarter wise like,

Quarter 1 500
Quarter 2 340
Quarter 3 450
Quarter 4 400

Note: Say quarters are fixed from Jan-Mar,Apr-Jun etc.,

select q, qty = sum(qty)
from
(
select q = 'Quarter ' + convert(varchar(10),datepart(qq,RecordDate)), qty = sum(Quantity)
from tbl
) a
group by q

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

try this with slight modifications

select Year, q, qty = sum(qty)
from
(
select Year(RecordDate) as Year, q = 'Quarter ' + convert(varchar(10),datepart(qq,RecordDate)), qty = sum(Quantity)
from tbl
Group by Year(RecordDate), convert(varchar(10),datepart(qq,RecordDate))
) a
group by Year,q
