SQL grouping by month and year

Question

I\'m not sure what should I write in the following SQL query to show \'date\' column like this: \"month-year\" - \"9-2011\".

SELECT MONTH(date) + \'.\' + YE         


        

Answer 1

SELECT CAST(MONTH(date) AS VARCHAR(2)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR(date) AS VARCHAR(4)) AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY CAST(MONTH(date) AS VARCHAR(2)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR(date) AS VARCHAR(4))

Or as @40-Love mentioned you can cast with leading zeroes:

GROUP BY 
  CAST(YEAR(date) AS VARCHAR(4)) + '-' + right('00' + CAST(MONTH(date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
