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

basically this ...

declare @currentdate datetime = getdate()
select left(datename(month,DATEADD(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())),3)
union all
select left(datename(month,(DATEADD(MONTH, -2, GETDATE()))),3)
union all
select left(datename(month,(DATEADD(MONTH, -3, GETDATE()))),3)
