selecting records based on date

[Eugene Anthony]

I have a table that has a DateTime column which uses a DataTime
datatype. How do I retrieve a range of records based on the month and
year using ms sql?

Google is your friend.

Results 1 - 10 of about 12,100 for
"microsoft sql server" "date functions". (0.27 seconds)

This works.

SELECT DATEPART(mm, Dates) AS month,DATEPART( yy, Dates) AS year FROM

I've always hated this one. Searching for a date like that is pretty
simple but looking for a range can often times return unwanted
results. Though I don't know if it is right or not, I've done the
following before in the past:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE CONVERT(char(2) , DatePart(yy, table.datefield )) +
CONVERT(char(2) , DatePart(mm, table.datefield )) >= CONVERT(char(2) ,
DatePart(yy, BeginDate)) + CONVERT(char(2) , DatePart(mm, BeginDate))
AND CONVERT(char(2) , DatePart(yy, table.datefield )) + CONVERT(char(2) ,
DatePart(mm, table.datefield )) <= CONVERT(char(2) , DatePart(yy,
EndDate)) + CONVERT(char(2) , DatePart(mm, EndDate))

This way, if begin date is 1/1/07 and end date is today it will
evaluate between 0701 and 0703. The problem with the above is that
since you can't index it it needs to do a full table scan and if it is
a large table this can sometimes take some time. If that is the case
and you run this often you might want to add a computed field that
carries the converted date over and index that sucker.

I hope that helps.

Something like : SELECT myCol1 FROM myTable WHERE DATEPART(mm, Dates) =
'<insert month>',DATEPAR T(yy, Dates) = '<insert year>'
