I am trying to use the actual numerical value for the month on a sql query to pull results. Is there any way to do this without having a function to change the numbers to actual month names, then back to month numbers? The following code works for Names, what works for numbers?
datename(month,(convert(datetime,DTSTAMP)))= ‘October’
month,(convert(datetime,DTSTAMP)) should do it, but why on earth are you not storing the data correctly as a datetime to begin with? All that additional conversion stuff to use the dates adds unnecessary load to your server and slows down your application.
