how is it possible in sql 2005 to compare a date? i am using the GetDate() sql function to get the date, how is it possible to compare that result to something like

select @date = date from table

if @date > @2months
BEGIN
DO SOMETHING HERE
END

I want to compare the date from a table with 2 months, how is this possible?

No var, i am unsure how to compare a date from a table with 2 months hence this topic. What i'm asking is how to compare @date (@date being smalldatetime data from a table) with 2 months later on from that date (@date), how would that be done?

Sample data.It will return current date & date after 2 months.



declare @date as datetime=getdate()
declare @2date as datetime=dateadd(mm,2,getdate())
select @date,@2date
