这也是可行的:

    SELECT DATEADD(DAY,(DATEPART(DAY,@mydate)-1)*(-1),@mydate) AS FirstOfMonth

如果你想去SQL Server 2012+，你可以尝试我使用的解决方案:

SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, EOMONTH(DATEADD(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())))

这个查询应该在MySQL上工作得很好:

SELECT concat(left(curdate(),7),'-01') 

当月的第一天和最后一天:

select dateadd(mm, -1,dateadd(dd, +1, eomonth(getdate()))) as FirstDay, 
eomonth(getdate()) as LastDay

SELECT DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, @mydate), 0) AS StartOfMonth

它可能相当快。为什么不创建一个sql函数呢?

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetFirstDayOfMonth] ( @InputDate    DATETIME )
RETURNS DATETIME
BEGIN

    RETURN CAST(CAST(YEAR(@InputDate) AS VARCHAR(4)) + '/' + 
                CAST(MONTH(@InputDate) AS VARCHAR(2)) + '/01' AS DATETIME)

END
GO
