2. Take a specific date
(1) The day of the week to get the current date
SELECT Datename (Weekday,getdate ())--wednesday
(2) Calculate which day is the Monday of this week
SELECT DATEADD (Week, DATEDIFF (week, ' 1900-01-01 ', GETDATE ()), ' 1900-01-01 ')--return 2006-11-06 00:00:00.000
Or
SELECT DATEADD (Week, DATEDIFF (Week,0,getdate ()), 0)

(4) How to get the number of days in a month
SELECT Day (DateAdd (Ms,-3,dateadd (mm, DATEDIFF (m,0, ' 2006-02-03 ') +1,0))-Return 28
(5) How many days of a quarter
Declare @m tinyint, @time smalldatetime
Select @m=month (getdate ())
Select @m=case when @m between 1 and 3 then 1
When @m between 4 and 6 then 4
When @m between 7 and 9 then 7
Else Ten End
Select @time =datename (year,getdate ()) + '-' +convert (varchar), @m) + '-01 '
Select DateDiff (Day, @time, DateAdd (mm,3, @time))-return 92
(6) Date of acquisition (YYYY-MM-DD)
SELECT CONVERT (VARCHAR), GETDATE (), 120) – Return 2006-11-08
3. Other
(1)--The following example specifies a date as a number. The database engine interprets 0 as January 1, 1900.
SELECT MONTH (0), day (0), year (0) – return 1 1 1900
--The following two sentences are equivalent
SELECT Datename (weekday,0)
SELECT datename (WEEKDAY, ' 1900-01-01 ')
(2) SET Datefirst {number | @number_var}
Set the first day of the week to a number from 1 to 7.
SET Datefirst 1--Indicates that the first day of the week is "Monday"
SELECT Datename (Weekday,getdate ())--wednesday
SELECT DATEPART (Weekday,getdate ())--Return 3
--View current settings
SELECT @ @DATEFIRST
(3) SET DateFormat {format | @format_var}
Sets the order of the date parts (month/day/year) that are used to enter datetime or smalldatetime data.
... Valid parameters include MDY, dmy, Ymd, YDM, MyD, and Dym.
... This setting is used only in the interpretation when converting a string to a date value. It does not affect the display of date values.
... Set DateFormat settings are set at execution or runtime, not at parse time.
... Set DateFormat overrides the implicit date format setting for set LANGUAGE.
Here is an example:
--Set date format to year, day, month.
SET DateFormat YDM;
GO
DECLARE @datevar DATETIME;
SET @datevar = ' 1998/31/12 ';
SELECT @datevar as Datevar;
GO
--Set date format to year, month, day.
SET DateFormat Ymd;
GO
DECLARE @datevar DATETIME;
SET @datevar = ' 1998/12/31 ';
SELECT @datevar as Datevar;
GO
