    Please only use the tag for the database you are using. Which data type has your date column?

  • For MySQL, you can use date_format(your_date,'%b')

I need more info regarding the source data type and DBMS you use. But, I assume you have field that has string/varchar data type and want to get the month name using MySQL. Here is the code:

DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(Date, '%m/%d/%Y'), '%b') AS Month

For trial running, I have created fiddle link for you.

For MSSQL, you can use:

substring(DATENAME(MONTH,'2024-01-25'), 1,3)
