Is there any way to get the get the specific values from date such as year , month , day .
Actually we have in php date function . If we give date (Y-m ) ; it will give us 2010-07 .
I want like this in postgres(psql) .

Answer 1

SELECT to_char(CURRENT_DATE, 'MM')
FROM v_use_doc_line
;

This will provide you with the month value of the CURRENT_DATE. If you need year, just replace MM with YYYY.

I hope you can guess now what you should do to get the day :).

For further information, see the to_char function of postgresql.
