SQL Server 2005 Using DateAdd to add a day to a date

Question

How do I in SQL Server 2005 use the DateAdd function to add a day to a date

Solution 1

Use the following function:

DATEADD(type, value, date)

• date is the date you want to manipulate

• value is the integere value you want to add (or subtract if you provide a negative number)

• type is one of:

• yy, yyyy: year

• qq, q: quarter

• mm, m: month

• dy, y: day of year

• dd, d: day

• wk, ww: week

• dw, w: weekday

• hh: hour

• mi, n: minute

• ss or s: second

• ms: millisecond

• mcs: microsecond

• ns: nanosecond

SELECT DATEADD(dd, 1, GETDATE()) -- will return a current date + 1 day

Solution 2

DECLARE @MyDate datetime

-- ... set your datetime's initial value ...'

DATEADD(d, 1, @MyDate)

Solution 3

Try following code will Add one day to current date

select DateAdd(day, 1, GetDate())

And in the same way can use Year, Month, Hour, Second etc. instead of day in the same function

Solution 4

The following query I have used in SQL Server 2008, it may be help you.

For add day

DATEADD(DAY,20,GETDATE())

*20 is the day quantity

Solution 5

DECLARE @date DateTime
SET @date = GetDate()
SET @date = DateAdd(day, 1, @date)

SELECT @date

I think you want to use GETDATE() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP instead of NOW()

This seems to be an answer to a different question.
