Returning Month Name in SQL Server Query

Question

Using SQL Server 2008, I have a query that is used to create a view and I\'m trying to display a month\'s name instead of an integer.

Answer 1

Without hitting db we can fetch all months name.

WITH CTE_Sample1 AS
(
    Select 0 as MonthNumber

    UNION ALL

    select MonthNumber+1 FROM CTE_Sample1
        WHERE MonthNumber+1<12
)

Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , MonthNumber ,0 ) ) from CTE_Sample1
