Returning Month Name in SQL Server Query

Question

Using SQL Server 2008, I have a query that is used to create a view and I\'m trying to display a month\'s name instead of an integer.

Answer 1

DECLARE @iMonth INT=12
SELECT CHOOSE(@iMonth,'JANUARY','FEBRUARY','MARCH','APRIL','MAY','JUNE','JULY','AUGUST','SEPTEMBER','OCTOBER','NOVEMBER','DECEMBER')

Answer 2

Change:

CONVERT(varchar(3), DATEPART(MONTH, S0.OrderDateTime) AS OrderMonth

To:

CONVERT(varchar(3), DATENAME(MONTH, S0.OrderDateTime)) AS OrderMonth

Answer 3

Without hitting db we can fetch all months name.

WITH CTE_Sample1 AS
(
    Select 0 as MonthNumber

    UNION ALL

    select MonthNumber+1 FROM CTE_Sample1
        WHERE MonthNumber+1<12
)

Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , MonthNumber ,0 ) ) from CTE_Sample1

Answer 4

SELECT MONTHNAME( `col1` ) FROM `table_name` 

Answer 5

Try this:

SELECT LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH,Getdate()),3)

Answer 6

This will give you the full name of the month.

select datename(month, S0.OrderDateTime)

If you only want the first three letters you can use this

select convert(char(3), S0.OrderDateTime, 0)
