SQL date MM_YYYY

Question

How do I convert a date to the following format? MM_YYYY with an underscore instead of forward slashes or full stops?

I want to change this query to underscores:

SELECT RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 105), 7) AS [MM-YYYY]

Thanks,

Jenny

Answer 1

Use your very same command with a replace:

SELECT replace(RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 105), 7),'-','_')

In SQL Server you could do something like

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR, DATEPART(MM, GETDATE())) + '_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, DATEPART(YYYY, GETDATE()))
