如何将日期转换为文本月份？

Question

How do I convert the date to a month spelled out?

For example.

01/08/2015 = January

I have it code in excel =TEXT(value, "MMMM") but we are shifting away from Excel to SQL Server.

Thanks

Answer 1

You need to use the DATENAME function.

For example:

SELECT DATENAME(mm, DateCol) AS [Month]
FROM MyTable

Answer 2

SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, GETDATE())

Answer 3

This is one way:

SELECT DATENAME(month, youDateField)) as Month
FROM YourTable

Answer 4

select datename(month,convert(varchar,yourField,106)) as month
from yourTable
