    I was trying to use a wild card for a date column such as July of 2015 and the query would show me all orders made within the month of July 2015. I have found a work around, so I was just trying to see if anyone knows why the wildcard is not an available option on a datetime column in SQL Server.

    You could try something like:

    WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, OrderDate) = 2015

    AND DATEPART(MONTH, OrderDate) = 7

    WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, OrderDate) = 2015

    AND DATENAME(MONTH, OrderDate) = 'July'

    From a performance point of view, this may not be the best option
