I have a database table as follows..

PKDrugId - Int
DrugName - Varchar(50)
DrugType - Varchar(25)
CreationDate - Date

I am trying to generate a report which gives all the Drug Names which are entered in the current month. How should i write a query for this in SQL Server 2008?

How do I Get Previous month for the same scenario?

Select * from Drug where case Year(getdate) when 12 then Month(getdate())-1=Month(CreationDate) and Year(getdate())-1=year(creationDate) else month(getdate())-1=month(CreationDate) and year(getdate())=year(creationDate) end

You need to use

SQL

DATEPART( datepart , date )

Some useful info on this is available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174420.aspx[^]

I wasn't sure of the table name, so I used tblDrugs.

SQL

SELECT
   DrugName
FROM
   tblDrugs
WHERE
   DATEPART(month,CreationDate) = DATEPART(month, GETDATE())
   AND
   DATEPART(year,CreationDate) = DATEPART(year, GETDATE())

Hope that helps you understand how to use it!

~~~Edit~~~
If you wanted to get last months data you could just subtract 1 from the month.

SQL

SELECT
   DrugName
FROM
   tblDrugs
WHERE
   DATEPART(month,CreationDate) = DATEPART(month,DATEADD(MONTH, -1,GETDATE()) )
   AND
   DATEPART(year,CreationDate) = DATEPART(year, DATEADD(MONTH, -1,GETDATE()))

All the best!
