I’d like to return a date from SQL in the following format 2011-12-DEC, 2012-01-JAN, 2012-02-FEB, 2012-03-MAR etc…

Currently I have the below code, but don’t think it’s the best. It also does not return a 0 in front of the month (i.e. 8 rather than 08)

print CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), DATEPART(yyyy,GETDATE())) + '-'+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), DATEPART(mm,GETDATE()))

    For SQL Server, something like this

     select convert(varchar(8), getdate(),120)
      + convert(varchar(3),datename(month,getdate()))
