Question

I have a sample data set below:

Date
01/01/2010
01/02/2010
01/03/2010

Running the query below gives:

SELECT
   DATEPART (MONTH, Date)  AS MONTH
FROM MYTABLE

OUTPUT:

MONTH
1

I would like to the output as mm/dd/yyyy format as below.

MONTH
01/01/2010

Could someone please look into it?

Thanks a bunch!

If you want to truncate date to a month, you might use:

select dateadd(m, datediff(m, 0, getdate()), 0)

Put your date column instead of getdate().
