I am using sql server 2005. I am trying to create a function that gives me the end of the month. I know how to get the current date.

What I ultimately want to do is display how many days are left in the month no matter what month I am currently in.

Upon research I found EOMONTH
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213020.aspx

But that doesn't work for server 2005.

[code]-- end of current month
SELECT DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())+1,-1)
-- end of last month
SELECT DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())+0,-1)
-- end of next month
SELECT DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())+2,-1)
[/code]
