Month closest actual month

Question

i have this table:

Players:
ID (int)
Birthday (datetime)

I need choose 3 first players, which have birthday in the actual month... I have this but the result is nothing.. Have you any idea?

SELECT * 
FROM Players
WHERE Birthday < DATEADD(month, -2, GETDATE())

Answer 1

Using SQL Server syntax:

select  top 3 *
from    YourTable
where   datepart(month, Birthday) = datepart(month, getdate())

Answer 2

You need to use DATEPART function in SQL server

SELECT * 
FROM Players
WHERE DATEPART(MM,Birthday) = DATEPART(MM,GETDATE())
