Question

I have datetime field names “salestime” in “sales” table

I need to get data as:

SalesMonthYear      Total
2010-11             10
2010-10             15
2010-09             21

or

Nov-2010            10
Oct-2010            15
Sep-2010            21

Any one know how can I achieve this using query?
Thanks for the help

Answer 1

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(salesTime, '%Y-%m') AS salesMonthYear,
       COUNT(*) AS salesCount
FROM sales
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(salesTime, '%Y-%m')
