Обсуждение: How to query by month?
Hi all,
im a beginner for SQL, and trying to use it with my daily work.
Now i catched this question(my title of mail).
Suppose there is a table about orders, i want to sum the total amount of each month.
There was a statement of mine to november.
select sum(order_amount) FROM table_name WHERE order_date between '2016-11-01' AND '2016-11-30';
I know it comes a result what i want, but i hope someone can tell me another way to use.
After searched, i found there is a function named date_part, but it doesn't work.
thanks for any help!

You can use
WHERE date_trunc('month', order_date) = '2016-11-01 00:00:00'
The downside is that this clause cannot use a simple index on
"order_date", you'd have to create an index on date_trunc('month', order_date).

I think you want date_trunc(), not date_part.

If you only need it for part of the table, add a WHERE condition in as needed.

select sum(order_amount) from table_name where date_part('month',
order_date) = '$month';
Note that the $month will be the month number, not name. So for
November, it will = 11.
