I want to convert or turn a string to date, but display like 'November 2017'
My field is: [Fiscal_post_year_month] nvarchar(max)
I'm just going to put a guess that you are using MSSQL, this should do what you want.
DECLARE #THEDATE NVARCHAR(MAX)
--need to have some kind of 'DAY' but we won't use it
SET #THEDATE = '2017-11' + '-01'
--we turn the number back into a VARCHAR and then concatenate them together as per your request
SELECT DATENAME (MONTH, #THEDATE) + ' ' + CAST(DATEPART (YEAR ,#THEDATE) AS VARCHAR(MAX))
results:

I have Date stored in DB in format: '02/08/2021' (Date selected from mobile app). I want it to be stored/returned in format: Aug 02, 2021.
This is what I have tried:
declare #value Date = '02/08/2021'
select Convert(varchar(30), #value, 107)
But, I get error saying:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character
string.
How can I fix this using SQL Query?
you may convert string first
DECLARE #s nvarchar(50) = '02/08/2021'
declare #value Date = SUBSTRING(#s,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(#s,1,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(#s,7,4)
select Convert(varchar(30), #value, 107)
I have a custom date string in SQL. I need to convert the date into custom format. Below is the example for it.
SQL Input : 'January-2019' (Month Name-Year format)
Output : '201901' (Year-Month Number format, Month Number must be two digit)
Since you're using SQL 2008 you can use CONVERT(DATE, ...) + CONVERT(VARCHAR, ...):
DECLARE #input AS VARCHAR(20) = 'January-2019'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), CONVERT(DATE, '01-' + #input), 112)
Note that you need to prepend 01- to the string.
You can also try this.
DECLARE #input AS VARCHAR(20) = 'January-2019'
Select Convert(Varchar(6), Cast(Replace(#input, '-', ' 01 ') as DATE), 112)

I want to format a datetime column like so: "March 2004." Currently, I tried
DECLARE #Date VARCHAR(20) = '2004-03-05 01:00'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CAST(#Date AS DATETIME),13) AS DateFormats
but not getting the right result.
You should really apply formatting when you present your data, not in the query, but to answer the question, if you're using SQL Server 2012 or above you can use FORMAT
DECLARE #Date datetime = '2004-03-05 01:00'
SELECT FORMAT( #Date, 'MMMM yyyy' ) AS DateFormats
Something like:
DECLARE #Date VARCHAR(20) = '2004-03-05 01:00'
SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, #Date) + ' ' + DATENAME(YEAR, #Date)
More on DATENAME can be found here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms174395.aspx
Essentially it gets the month part of the date and the year part of the date and concatenate them together.
None of the built-in formats include the full month. Instead, use datename():
select datename(month, #date) + ' ' + datename(year, #date)
Using SQL Server 2000
Date like 20120101, 20120201, 20120301...
Fomat is yyyymmdd
I want to display month and year from the date like 01/2012, 02/2012, 03/2012...
Expected Output
01/2012
02/2012
03/2012
I don't want 1/2012, 2/2012, 3/2012...
Can any one give me a idea or query help....
You can use something like this:
DECLARE #input VARCHAR(20)
SET #input = '20120101'
-- convert the 20120101 to a DATETIME
DECLARE #thedate DATETIME
SELECT #thedate = CONVERT(DATETIME, #input, 112)
-- reformat that DATETIME to your needs
DECLARE #output VARCHAR(20)
SET #output = RIGHT('00' + CAST(DATEPART(MONTH, #thedate) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) +
'/' + CAST(DATEPART(YEAR, #thedate) AS VARCHAR(4))
SELECT #output
You could "hide" this functionality into a user-defined function to make it more easily usable in your code:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MonthYearFromDate (#input VARCHAR(20))
RETURNS VARCHAR(20)
AS BEGIN
DECLARE #thedate DATETIME
SELECT #thedate = CONVERT(DATETIME, #input, 112)
DECLARE #output VARCHAR(20)
SET #output = RIGHT('00' + CAST(DATEPART(MONTH, #thedate) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + '/' + CAST(DATEPART(YEAR, #thedate) AS VARCHAR(4))
RETURN #output
END
and then you can call this like so:
SELECT dbo.MonthYearFromDate('20120515')
and get the output
05/2012
SELECT CAST(datepart(month,getdate()) AS CHAR) + '/' + CAST(datepart(year,getdate()) AS CHAR)
Instead of the function getdate() you need your date field.
have a look at the SUBSTRING function http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187748.aspx
You should also consider storing your dates as a DATETIME (I assume you are using VARCHAR?)
Search on extract() function. It will solve your problem.
I want to convert date format from 01/09 to January 2009 , 09/03 to September 2003 etc. Is this possible in SQL? Please let me know if there is a API for the same.
if you have a DateTime column in your table, it's possible
SELECT DATENAME(MM, YOUR_DATE_COLUMN) + ' ' + CAST(YEAR(YOUR_DATE_COLUMN) AS VARCHAR(4)) AS [Month YYYY]
http://www.sql-server-helper.com/tips/date-formats.aspx
You should look here.
It's rather simple.
You should first convert it to a datetime. Then you can easily apply any formating when you read it later.
declare #d varchar(10);
set #d = '01/09'
select
--cast(#d as datetime) as d1, --syntax error converting char string
cast('20' + right(#d, 2) + '-' + left(#d, 2) + '-01' as datetime) as d2
then convert it to mmm yyyy using rm's answer
select datename(month, GETDATE()) + ' '+ substring(convert(varchar, GETDATE(), 100),8,4)
