Convert Month Number to Month Name Function in SQL

I think this is the best way to get the month name when you have the month number

Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , @MonthNumber , 0 ) - 1 )

Or

Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , @MonthNumber , -1 ) )

A little hacky but should work:

SELECT DATENAME(month, DATEADD(month, @mydate-1, CAST('2008-01-01' AS datetime)))

You can use the inbuilt CONVERT function

select CONVERT(varchar(3), Date, 100)  as Month from MyTable.

This will display first 3 characters of month (JAN,FEB etc..)

In some locales like Hebrew, there are leap months dependant upon the year so to avoid errors in such locales you might consider the following solution:

SELECT DATENAME(month, STR(YEAR(GETDATE()), 4) + REPLACE(STR(@month, 2), ' ', '0') + '01')     

you can get the date like this. eg:- Users table

id name created_at
1  abc  2017-09-16
2  xyz  2017-06-10

you can get the monthname like this

select year(created_at), monthname(created_at) from users;

output

+-----------+-------------------------------+
| year(created_at) | monthname(created_at)  |
+-----------+-------------------------------+
|      2017        | september              |
|      2017        | june                   |

You can create a function like this to generate the Month and do SELECT dbo.fn_GetMonthFromDate(date_column) as Month FROM table_name

/****** Object:  UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[fn_GetMonthFromDate]    Script Date: 11/16/2018 10:26:33 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GetMonthFromDate] 
(@date datetime)
RETURNS varchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @monthPart int


SET @monthPart = MONTH(@date)

IF @monthPart = 1
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'January'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 2
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'February'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 3
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'March'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 4
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'April'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 5
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'May'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 6
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'June'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 7
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'July'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 8
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'August'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 9
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'September'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 10
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'October'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 11
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'November'
    END
ELSE IF @monthPart = 12
    BEGIN
        RETURN 'December'
    END
RETURN NULL END

The easiest way is by calling the function MONTHNAME(your_date). your_date can be a static value or the value from one of your table fields.

Try this: SELECT MONTHNAME(concat('1970-',[Month int val],'-01'))

For example- SELECT MONTHNAME(concat('1970-',4,'-01'))

The answer is - April

If anyone is trying to get the same kind of thing in MySQL. please check below query.

 SELECT MONTH(STR_TO_DATE('November', '%M'))

By this I got required result.
