SQL Select statement Where Month is current month and Year is current year
Hi
I have a Table called Table1, which has a field called "Year", containing a string e.g. "2014"
and another column called Month containing e.g. "January" or "February"
I want to select all fields where the month is the current month and the year is the current year
What would the SQL statement be starting with "Select * From Table1 Where [Year] = "..............

Thanks very much
If that string field [year] is already indexed, casting YEAR(getdate()) to (n)varchar may be faster still
If it isn't indexed it may not make much difference either way
if [year] is varchar use varchar
if [year] is nvarchar use nvarchar
SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE [year] = cast( YEAR(getdate()) as varchar ) -- or nvarchar
AND [Month] = DATENAME(month,getdate()))
Personally I wouldn't store [year] as a string
and as an extra observation field names of [year] and [month] are not a great idea

Thanks for the help. Pity that I have already allocated points
no problem
FROM Table1
WHERE CAST(Year as int) = YEAR(GETDATE()) AND Month = DATENAME(MM, GETDATE())
