Retrieving Last 3 Calendar Months of Data

When working with SQL, date manipulation is a common task, especially when you need to filter data based on specific time periods. One such scenario is retrieving data for the **last 3 calendar months**. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to write SQL queries to achieve this, explain key functions like `DATEDIFF` and `DATEADD`, and provide examples for different database systems.

  • This ensures that the data aligns with full calendar months rather than just counting backward from the current date.
