Hi,

Write simple select query and use DateTime structure .ToString("MMMM") method to get month name.
I don't know your table and column names so I'll write some query and you will need to adjust your table and column names...
Since you didn't mentioned language i'll write simple code snippet in C#...

C#

YourDataContext dc = new YourDataContext();
var monthNames = from d in 			
			(
				from row in dc.GetTable<YourTable>()
				select row.YourDateTimeColumn
			).ToList()
			select d.ToString("MMMM");
					 
monthNames.Dump();

This will return month names for every record in your table.
If you want to select specific record use where in your query.

XML

object[] dt = { "13/01/2012","02/03/2012","04/03/2012","03/04/2012","06/05/2012" };
               List<string> result = (from d in dt select Convert.ToDateTime(d).ToString("MMMM")).ToList();
