-1















This is the code from SQL Server; I need to convert it into redshift



convert(decimal, LEFT(convert(varchar, dateadd(month, 3, convert(datetime, convert(varchar, Column_name))), 112), 6))


Any help?

You can convert it by replacing the convert(varchar function with TO_CHAR and specifying the output format as'YYYMMDD':



-- SQL Server original
convert(decimal, LEFT(convert(varchar, dateadd(month, 3, convert(datetime, convert(varchar, Column_name))), 112 ), 6))
-- Redshift version
convert(decimal, LEFT( TO_CHAR( dateadd(month, 3, convert(datetime, convert(varchar, '20190102'))), 'YYYMMDD'), 6))
-- Output: 19040


The original uses CONVERT with the SQL Server specific 3rd parameter 112 to convert the date to the format of YYYYMMDD. The Redshift equivalent is TO_CHAR.
