Solution 1

You can use as

SQL

select right('0' + rtrim(month(dob)),2) from empbirth where name like '%uma%'

Solution 2

You can use replace(str(datepart(mm,docdate), 2), ' ', '0') as well.

Solution 3

You can also be lazy and use

SQL

SELECT SUBSTRING (CAST (dob AS NVARCHAR),6,2)

Works just fine. That's if its a date field. For Datetime it might be abit tasking as you must convert it to a date time first, i.e

SQL

SELECT SUBSTRING (CAST (CAST(dob AS DATE) AS NVARCHAR),6,2)

Apart from the fact the question was answered properly over 3 years ago, this "solution" is just wrong. Casting a datetime as nvarchar produces (e.g.) 'Sep 25 2015 3:26PM' - so your sql produces '5 ' as the answer instead of the '09' that was required.

Sorry about that. If it's a datetime field, you have to first cast it to a date (which might be a lot of work), it works just fine for me since most of the fields am working on are just date fields and not datetime.

However if you test SELECT SUBSTRING(CAST(CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)AS NVARCHAR),1,7) you get '2015-09' / '2015-10' etc
