A few days ago Adam Machanic proposed a great idea about a T-SQL Tuesday. Every Tuesday there would be a topic bloggers all around would post about. Chosen as the first topic was the date and time stuff in SQL Server.
Because there’s already all this great content out there I’m not going to repeat it but I’m going to put together a ton of datetime resources from SQLTeam forums and blogs as a resource you can use in the future.
Michael Valentine Jones
MVJ as we like to call him in the forums has a thing for datetime manipulation. He has some really good helper functions he shared with the world.
Peter Larsson
Peter is an MVP who has the most amazing ideas for writing SQL. If you want performance talk to him.
Jeff Smith
Sometimes I think that Jeff is datetime machine. His posts are always high quality and simple to understand. He’s also an MVP who I hope will start blogging more again soon.
K H Tan
K H Tan is a smart fellow from Singapore who’s always glad to help. Shame he doesn’t blog.
- fn_next_business_day - Calculates the next x business day (excluding Sat, Sun). Basically a businessdateadd() for dateadd()

In each post I learned something new or got a nice idea so it’s also worth reading the comments. On some issues my views have changed while on others they stayed the same.
