Define quarter. Calendar quarter? Fiscal Quarter? If fiscal, what is the start and end? It varies.
But the basic algorithm is this: - if (month of some date) <= (month of last date in fiscal year) then
-
use current year
-
else
-
use next year
-
end if
We need the calendar quarter. So if I run the SQL now, it should give me sep 30 2012. and if I run it in Jan 2013, then it should give me 31 Dec 2012.

Use the date_trunc() function to get the first day of the quarter and then subtract one day.
the date_trunc() function does not work in Postgres. Can u send me the correct SQL for last day of Quarter.

select date_trunc('qua rter',current_d ate)
Once again I apprecaite the help this forum is providing.

In that same link, it also shows you how to subtract a time interval.
Yes, Thanks Rabbit, it works..
select date(date_trunc ('quarter',curr ent_date))-integer '1' Sign in to post your reply or Sign up for a free account.
