Is it possible to save the month/year in SQL Server 2008 with a regular datetime? I don't need a time stamp and the column is going to store unique mo/yr combinations (ie 10-11, 11-11, 12-11, etc,.).
Any recommendations?
Without knowing the intended use, it is not possible to advise correctly. However, storing month and year is easily done in at least three ways:
Sql Server will store the datetime data in its entirety (year-month-day hour:min:sec.milliSec) no matter what.
When you store your dates, you can make the day the 1st of the month. Just format the dates how you want when you do your queries.
From SQLServer 2008 and onwards:
Save as a Date
column and add the following check constraint to make sure the value is always the first of the month:
datepart(month, MyDate)<>datepart(month,dateadd(day, -1, MyDate))
You cant only store year and month in a DateTime column. Well, what you can do is default the rest of the values. ie: 2011.10.1.1 , 2011.11.1.1 like that.
Or you can store it as string.
SELECT RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 105), 7) AS [MM-YYYY]
