How to select month and year from dates in MySQL?


To select month and year in MySQL, you can use MONTH() and YEAR() method. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> DueDate datetime
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.90 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-01-21');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-06-15');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-12-01');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2015-04-01');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2016-08-14');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql− select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+---------------------+
