Getting Current Month Records in SQL Server

In SQL Server, you can retrieve records for the current month using the `GETDATE()` function and the `MONTH()` function. Here's how to do it.

Syntax

The syntax to get current month records is as follows:

SELECT * FROM YourTableName WHERE MONTH(YourDateColumn) = MONTH(GETDATE()) AND YEAR(YourDateColumn) = YEAR(GETDATE()); 

This query returns all records from the current month.

Example

Let's say we have a table called `Orders` with a column called `OrderDate`, and we want to retrieve all orders for the current month:

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE MONTH(OrderDate) = MONTH(GETDATE()) AND YEAR(OrderDate) = YEAR(GETDATE()); 

This query will return all orders that were placed in the current month.

Example Output

The output of the query will be a list of all records for the current month. Here's an example output:

In this example, the output includes all orders that were placed in the current month (March 2023).

Alternative Syntax

You can also use the following alternative syntax to get current month records:

SELECT * FROM YourTableName WHERE YourDateColumn >= DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1) AND YourDateColumn < DATEADD(MONTH, 1, DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1)); 

This syntax uses the `DATEFROMPARTS` function to create a date for the first day of the current month, and the `DATEADD` function to add one month to it. The query then filters records that fall within this date range.
