How to select data from 30 days?

Question

I have query:

SELECT name
FROM (
SELECT name FROM 
Hist_answer
WHERE id_city='34324' AND datetime >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
UNION ALL
SELECT name FROM 
Hist_internet
WHERE id_city='34324' AND datetime >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
) x
GROUP BY name ORDER BY name

But DATE_SUB is a MySQL function and I need function for MsSQL 2008

Tell me please how to select data from 30 days by using MsSQL 2008?

P.S.: Data type of datetime is smalldatetime

Solution 1

You should be using DATEADD is Sql server so if try this simple select you will see the affect

Select DATEADD(Month, -1, getdate())

Result

2013-04-20 14:08:07.177

in your case try this query

SELECT name
FROM (
SELECT name FROM 
Hist_answer
WHERE id_city='34324' AND datetime >= DATEADD(month,-1,GETDATE())
UNION ALL
SELECT name FROM 
Hist_internet
WHERE id_city='34324' AND datetime >= DATEADD(month,-1,GETDATE())
) x
GROUP BY name ORDER BY name

Solution 2

Try this : Using this you can select date by last 30 days,

SELECT DATEADD(DAY,-30,GETDATE())

Solution 3

For those who could not get DATEADD to work, try this instead: ( NOW( ) - INTERVAL 1 MONTH )

Thank you. Worked for me and I feel this makes the SQL more readable.
