SQL - date range from today until 3 months from now

Hello,

Sorry if this isnt the best forum to ask this, but Im digging into a SQL data warehouse, which uses a date field.  The data is populated from 2004 onwards, but I only want to pull the event data for date rows equal or later than TODAY, and less than or equal to 3 months from now.  I can hard code the dates (showm below), but I want this to be automatic and ongoing.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Here's the hard coded exmaple...  Whats the SQL code needed to replace the hard dates with Today until 3 months from now?

 

select *
from TABLE_DETAILS
where EVENT_CODE = 'XS'
and EVENT_DATE between '01-SEP-16' and '01-DEC-16'

  • From a purely SQL perspective, you want to use

     

    getdate()

     

    to get the current date/time (convert with a mask to eliminate time if necessary)

     

    and

     

    dateadd(month, 3, getdate())

     

    to get the date 3 months from now (use same convert mask if needed).
