SQL Date Functions Implementation Guide

The document outlines practical SQL queries for various date functions, including adding months, calculating the difference between dates, rounding dates, finding the next occurrence of a specific day, truncating dates, identifying the greatest date, and converting timezones. Each query is accompanied by an example demonstrating its application using a sample_dates table. The aim is to implement these functions effectively in SQL.

AIM: Implement SQL queries using data functions like add months, calculating months
between two dates, round, next day, truncate, greatest, new time etc.

Creating Table:
1. Adding months to date:
Query: SELECT id,
start_date,
DATE_ADD(start_date, INTERVAL 3 MONTH) as new_start_date
FROM sample_dates;

2. Calculate months between two dates


Query: SELECT id,
end_date,
TIMESTAMPDIFF(MONTH, start_date, end_date) as months_between
FROM sample_dates;
3. Rounding a date
Query: SELECT id,
start_date,
DATE_FORMAT(start_date, '%Y-%m-%d') as rounded_start_date
FROM sample_dates;

4. Finding next week of a date


Query: SELECT id,
start_date,
DATE_ADD(start_date, INTERVAL (7 - WEEKDAY(start_date) + IF
(WEEKDAY(start_date) >= 5, 7, 0)) DAY) as next_friday
FROM sample_dates;

5. Truncating a date
Query: SELECT id,
start_date,
DATE_FORMAT(start_date, '%Y-%m-%d') as truncated_start_date
FROM sample_dates;

6. Finding greatest date


Query: SELECT id,
start_date,
GREATEST(start_date, end_date) as greatest_date
FROM sample_dates;

7. Converting timezones
Query: SELECT id,
start_date,
CONVERT_TZ(start_date, '+00:00', '-07:00') as local_time
FROM sample_dates;
