Question

i want to get months between two dates with their starting and end dates.Suppose if i enter startdate as \"2017-04-01\" and enddate as \"2017-07-31\", i want list of months

Answer 1

I created a stored procedure for that, may be you can convert that into user defined Function. Posting that code below,

create procedure ListMonths
@date1 date,@date2 date 
as
begin
create Table #tempTable
(mnth varchar(10))
while @date1<@date2
begin
insert into #tempTable
select DATENAME(month,@date1)
set @date1 = DATEADD(MONTH,1,@date1)
end
select * from #tempTable;
drop table #tempTable;
end

To execute the stored procedure:

exec ListMonths '2017-04-01','2018-01-31'

output

+------------+
|   mnth     |
+------------+
| April      |
| May        | 
| June       |
| July       |
| August     |
| September  |
| October    |
| November   |
| December   |
| January    |
+------------+
