Now i am in a condition, Where I am just displaying the month names and some data grouped by month number. There is a small issue. I need to get month names instead of month numbers from Oracle.
try this:
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(11, 'MM'), 'MONTH') FROM DUAL;
result:
NOVEMBER

This can be resolve your problem
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(1, 'MM'), 'MON') FROM DUAL;
How about this:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'Month') FROM DUAL;

I want to get the quarter and year depending on the sysdat in Oracle sql.
For example i want expected result value as 2022q3 for current quarter.
I can get the quarter using below query:
select to_char(sysdate, 'Q') as qtr from dual;
You can achieve this with the format string 'YYYY"Q"Q':
select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY"Q"Q') as qtr
from dual
A possible way to get previous quarter:
select to_char(sysdate - interval '3' month, 'YYYY"Q"Q') as qtr
from dual
How to fetch month name from a given date in Oracle?
If the given date is '15-11-2010' then I want November from this date.
select to_char(sysdate, 'Month') from dual
in your example will be:
select to_char(to_date('15-11-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY'), 'Month') from dual
Try this,
select to_char(sysdate,'dd') from dual; -> 08 (date)
select to_char(sysdate,'mm') from dual; -> 02 (month in number)
select to_char(sysdate,'yyyy') from dual; -> 2013 (Full year)
to_char(mydate, 'MONTH') will do the job.
In Oracle (atleast 11g) database :
If you hit
select to_char(SYSDATE,'Month') from dual;
It gives unformatted month name, with spaces, for e.g. May would be given as 'May '. The string May will have spaces.
In order to format month name, i.e to trim spaces, you need
select to_char(SYSDATE,'fmMonth') from dual;
This would return 'May'.
If you are trying to pull the value from a field, you could use:
select extract(month from [field_name])
from [table_name]
You can also insert day or year for the "month" extraction value above.
if you are taking system date:
--Full month name :
select to_char(trunc(sysdate,'MONTH'),'MONTH') as month from dual; --MARCH
--Short month name:
select to_char(trunc(sysdate,'MON'),'MON') as month from dual; --MAR
--Month number:
select to_char(trunc(sysdate,'MM'),'MM') as month from dual; --03
if you are taking a specific date:
--Full month's name:
select to_char(trunc(to_date('11-03-2021','DD-MM-YYYY'),'MONTH'),'MONTH') as month from dual; --MARCH
--Short month's name:
select to_char(trunc(to_date('11-03-2021','DD-MM-YYYY'),'MON'),'MON') as month from dual; --MAR
--Month's number:
select to_char(trunc(to_date('11-03-2021','DD-MM-YYYY'),'MM'),'MM') as month from dual; --03
Try this
select to_char(SYSDATE,'Month') from dual;
for full name and try this
select to_char(SYSDATE,'Mon') from dual;
for abbreviation

I have date range eg. '2021-01-05' and '2021-02-10'. Two months January and February.
Need resaults:

You want to iterate through the months. This is done with a recursive query in SQL:
with months (month_start_date) as
(
select trunc(:start_date, 'month') from mytable
union all
select month_start_date + interval '1' month
from months
where month_start_date < trunc(:end_date, 'month')
)
select
extract(year from month_start_date) as year,
extract(month from month_start_date) as month
from months
order by month_start_date;
You can use EXTRACT function that Oracle has to achieve this. In your case it should look something like:
SELECT EXTRACT (month FROM date_column) as "Months"
For more information about this function you can check out documentation here.
I am trying to format a Vertica date column into only the month.
I would need the final value in some sort of date datatype so in the report I can order the results by date/time, not order by text. So that February sorts after January etc.
select TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(purchase_date), 'Month')
from transactions
order by 1;
I am also tried:
select TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(MONTH(purchase_date)), 'Month')
from transactions
order by 1;
The above statements produce an error "Invalid value for Month"
Any ideas?
How about this?
select to_char(purchase_date, 'Month')
from transactions
order by purchase_date;
You can order by columns that are not in the select list.
EDIT:
If you want to combine months from multiple years, the above will not work quite right. This will:
select to_char(purchase_date, 'Month')
from transactions
order by extract(month from purchase_date);
Select TO_CHAR((NOW() - INTERVALYM '1 MONTH'), 'MON');
Output:
JUN
This will help you get only the name of the previous month.
We can directly use date_part to get a month from the timestamp.
SELECT DATE_PART('MONTH', purchase_date) purchase_date
TO_DATE gives the complete date, if you only provide MM in the parameter then Vertica set default year and day.
Let suppose the month number is 8.
SELECT TO_DATE(purchase_date, 'MM')
Output: (0001-08-01)
I need to find how many days have in this month which we can find with today's date
select to_number(to_date('01.02.2011')-to_date('01.01.2011')) from dual;
not this query
Have any other queries?
select extract(day from last_day(sysdate)) from dual
?
You can do it with a trunc(<date>, 'mm') (which returns the first day of the month) and an add_months(<date>,1) which add one month to a particular day. So, in order to find out how many days the month has in which we currently are (i.e. sysdate), you could go with something like:
select
add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'mm'),1) - trunc(sysdate, 'mm')
from
dual;
select DateDiff(Day,GETDATE(),DateAdd(month,1,GETDATE()))
