If I'm running on Sept 5th it has to generate one file(Becuase it falls under first Quarter), dates should be between 2017-07-01 and 2017-08-31 to Postgres SQL as Input.
  • July - Sept (1 file)
  • Oct - Dec (2 files which should generate above file too)
  • Jan - Mar (3 files)
  • April - Jun (4 files)

Another Example
If I ran the script on Nov 5th, then it has to get me 2 sets of files
  • One from July 1st to Sept 30th
  • 2nd file from Oct 1st to Oct 31st
...
...
What should be in the files if the end of previous month is also the end of previous quarter?

For example, if the process is run on 4-Oct-2017, then:
1) "File 1" has dates of Quarter 1 i.e. 01-Jul-2017 to 30-Sep-2017
2) What dates does "File 2" have?

A few similar cases are below:

Process Date: 05-Jan-2018
File 1 : Dates of Quarter 1 i.e. 01-Jul-2017 to 30-Sep-2017
File 2 : Dates of Quarter 2 i.e. 01-Oct-2017 to 31-Dec-2017
File 3 : What dates does this have?

Process Date: 05-Apr-2018
File 1 : Dates of Quarter 1 i.e. 01-Jul-2017 to 30-Sep-2017
File 2 : Dates of Quarter 2 i.e. 01-Oct-2017 to 31-Dec-2017
File 3 : Dates of Quarter 3 i.e. 01-Jan-2018 to 31-Mar-2018
File 4 : What dates does this have?

Also, what dates should be in the file(s) if the process is run in July of any year?
