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

In postgresql I can write a similar query with a date-format function (to_char) and grouping just by date:

SELECT to_char (datum, 'MM-YYYY') AS mjesec 
FROM test 
GROUP BY datum 
ORDER BY datum;

Such thing is surely possible with SQL-Server too, isn't it?
