Solution 1

The TO_CHAR equivalent in T-SQL is CONVERT.

SQL

CONVERT(varchar(20), myDate)

ADD_MONTHS translates to DATEADD

SQL

DATEADD(month, myDate)

The equivalent of Oracle TRUNC(date) is a COMBINATION of two CONVERT functions, one to convert to varchar and extract the time value and the other to convert it back to date.
