What query did you write today

In the spirit of SQL I thought it would be a cool idea to create a thread that shows any new type of SQL you might want to share with the community. Anything you think would be helpful. I love writing SQL and love seeing what others have to write. How you get around tough situations etc.

Also post articles you may find interesting in the database space that ties to MS.

    Well I guess I should follow up with something I like to use from time to time.

    I'm not really in "IT" I work with data exclusively. One thing I like to use when managing a catalog is between dates

    WHERE
    GETDATE() BETWEEN DATEADD(MONTH, -1, A.PRC_EFF) AND ISNULL(DATEADD(MONTH, -1, A.PRC_END), '9999-01-01')

    In this where I am looking back one month from when this script is executed. I have a JOB schedule to pull our catalog and **** into another table for ease of use, performance as well. The ISNULL is nice because it gives you the end date, since most end dates are null, this cast a value in there 9999-01-01 (Basically to the end of time).

    The reason I am using the job is to pivot out our price points since our table in interleaved
