Question

Could you please help me select a date which is the beginning of a particular following month, e.g. April?
For example, if it is Jan 08 2013, it should select April 01 2013, but if it is June 08 2013, it should select April 01 2014.

Thanks.

Use the DATEADD and the DATEPART function, like this short example:

DECLARE @Date Datetime

SET @Date = '2013.01.08 00:00:00'

SELECT DATEADD(year, 
CASE WHEN DATEPART(month, @Date) < 4 
THEN 0 
ELSE 1 END, 
  DATEADD(day, -DATEPART(day, @Date) + 1, 
     DATEADD(month, -DATEPART(month, @Date) + 4, @Date)))
