SQL Server: Get data for only the past year

Question

I am writing a query in which I have to get the data for only the last year. What is the best way to do this?

SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE date > \'8/27/2007         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem but the previous coder only provided the date in mm-yyyy format. My solution is simple but might prove helpful to some (I also wanted to be sure beginning and ending spaces were eliminated):

SELECT ... FROM ....WHERE 
CONVERT(datetime,REPLACE(LEFT(LTRIM([MoYr]),2),'-
','')+'/01/'+RIGHT(RTRIM([MoYr]),4)) >=  DATEADD(year,-1,GETDATE())
