Just for knowledge:
I want to filter my query with dates. from Date and To date but i want to filter according to Month and year of both dates.
e.g

SQL

Select * from #Table where myDate between (Month(FromDate) AND Year(FromDate)) AND (Month(ToDate) AND Year(Todate))

What should be the exact syntax for this?
Let me know if question isnt clear

If it was me, I'd convert FromDate to a date representing the 1st of the month of FromDate, and ToDate to the 1st of the month following ToDate (both simple operations doable with a single line of code each) then use a simple SQL statement with these:
select * from #Table where myDate between FromDate and ToDate
Otherwise you're going to have some rather ugly SQL to deal with...

Hi,

Try this...

SQL

Select * from #Table 
where 
MONTH(myDate ) BETWEEN MONTH(FromDate) AND MONTH(ToDate)
AND 
YEAR(myDate ) BETWEEN YEAR(FromDate) AND YEAR(ToDate)

I have not checked it, so you can be back if did not get desired output.

Hope this will help you.

Cheers

Not like that!

Instead, remove the day part from all three dates, and use them.

C#

DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, MyDateColumnOrValue), 0)

Will convert a date to the 1st of the month, so you might want something like:

SQL

... WHERE DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, myDate), 0) BETWEEN 
          DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, FromDate), 0) AND
          DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, ToDate), 0)

then do i need to take care of years?

OriginalGriff 5-Aug-14 6:31am

No, because you are "flattening" all dates to the first of the month: so the year is automatically ok.
