To get the month from a date in SQL, you use specific functions depending on your SQL database. Here are common ways:

1. MySQL

SELECT MONTH(your_date_column) AS month_number FROM your_table;

• Returns the month number (1 to 12).

To get the month name:

SELECT MONTHNAME(your_date_column) AS month_name FROM your_table;

2. SQL Server

SELECT MONTH(your_date_column) AS month_number FROM your_table;

For month name (SQL Server 2012+):

SELECT FORMAT(your_date_column, 'MMMM') AS month_name FROM your_table;

3. Oracle

SELECT EXTRACT(MONTH FROM your_date_column) AS month_number FROM your_table;

For month name:

SELECT TO_CHAR(your_date_column, 'Month') AS month_name FROM your_table;

4. PostgreSQL

SELECT EXTRACT(MONTH FROM your_date_column) AS month_number FROM your_table;

For month name:

SELECT TO_CHAR(your_date_column, 'Month') AS month_name FROM your_table;
