How can I extract only the Month and Year from an SQL DATE?

To extract the month and year from an SQL DATE, you can use functions like MONTH(), YEAR(), or formatting functions specific to your SQL database. For example, in MySQL, you can use:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(your_date_column, ‘%Y-%m’) AS MonthYear FROM your_table;

In SQL Server, use:

SELECT FORMAT(your_date_column, ‘yyyy-MM’) AS MonthYear FROM your_table;

For PostgreSQL:

SELECT TO_CHAR(your_date_column, ‘YYYY-MM’) AS MonthYear FROM your_table;

These methods format the DATE to show only the desired month and year, making it easy to work with.
