Question

In SQLExpress, I have a table that contains a datetime-column. It is formatted like this:

19.03.2012 00:00:00

Now, there are a lot of dates in there and I want to build a WPFChart, that shows me, how much dates are in march, in april and so on.
How can I manage this in sql that I get the count of one month?

Answer 1

Use:

select month(dateColumn), count(*)
from table
group by month(dateColumn)
