SQL group dates by month

Question

I have a query that returns expiration dates:

    SELECT ci.accountnumber
           , ci.accountname
           , cvu.ExpirationDate
      FROM dbo.clientin         


        

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

e.g. how many units are due to expire in 2012:

SELECT MONTH(cvu.ExpirationDate) AS Mnth, YEAR(cvu.ExpirationDate) AS Yr, 
    COUNT(*) AS DueToExpire
FROM clientvehicleunit cvu
WHERE cvu.ExpirationDate >= '20120101' AND cvu.ExpirationDate < '20130101'
GROUP BY MONTH(cvu.ExpirationDate), YEAR(cvu.ExpirationDate)
