Get month from DATETIME in sqlite

Question

I am trying to get extract the month from a DATETIME field in SQLite. month(dateField) does not work as well as strftime(\'%m\', dateStart)

Answer 1

This is a solution without all the case when statements. Hopefully it's helpful.

select substr('JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec', 1 + 3*strftime('%m', date('now')), -3)
