I am trying to report on data in e-email messaging system and wanted to have SQL tally counts by month/year
.
SELECT YEAR(crdate) AS y,
MONTH(crdate) AS m,
COUNT(*) AS tally
FROM MESSAGE
WHERE YEAR(crdate) = 2012
AND SUBJECT <> 'Welcome' --exclude default messages
GROUP BY
YEAR(crdate),
MONTH(crdate)
This is what I have but its limiting in that I need to manually change years. Can this be upgraded to output for all dates in the table in this month/year
format?
Removing the year would clump all the months over may years together and distort the data. I am looking to get the counts from that particular month/year
.

This will allow you to specify the year you want to get the data from in the call. I.e.
Given your requirements there is no way to do this automatically.
