14                 


        

Answer 1

SELECT SUM(count1), SUM(count2), SUM(count3), MONTH(month)
  FROM myTable
 GROUP BY MONTH(month)

Since MONTH is an SQL Server keyword, you might have to escape the column name month (e.g. [month]), if you date column is really called like that. (Thanks Endy for that comment!)

Also, if data selected span more than one year, you will probably need to group by year as well:

SELECT SUM(count1), SUM(count2), SUM(count3), MONTH(month), YEAR(month)
  FROM myTable
 GROUP BY MONTH(month), YEAR(month)
