Get the last day of the month in SQL

Question

I need to get the last day of the month given as a date in SQL. If I have the first day of the month, I can do something like this:

DATEADD(DAY, DATEADD(MONT         


        

Answer 1

Here's my version. No string manipulation or casting required, just one call each to the DATEADD, YEAR and MONTH functions:

DECLARE @test DATETIME
SET @test = GETDATE()  -- or any other date

SELECT DATEADD(month, ((YEAR(@test) - 1900) * 12) + MONTH(@test), -1)
