How do I add months to a CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in SQL?

Question

How can I add months to the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in SQL Server?

The solution probably lies in DATEADD() but this works with a date only, not a datetime.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This works perfectly fine

SELECT DATEADD(month,1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)

From DATEADD (Transact-SQL)

date

Is an expression that can be resolved to a time, date, smalldatetime, datetime, datetime2, or datetimeoffset value.

Answer 2

The Current_Timestamp is the ansi equivalent of GetDate() in SQL, so it is perfetly acceptable to use within a DateAdd function.

select dateadd(m,3,current_timestamp)

Adds 3 months to the current timestamp.
