you can use the dateadd function combined with datename

SELECT DATENAME(m,(DATEADD(m,-1,GETDATE())))

What specifically do you want returned, the more specifc you can be the easier it is for people to help..

do you want one row for each date in the previous month ?

or a one row output with '1 Nov - 30 Nov' ?

or something else.

I am trying to generate the months dynamically. I should have to get the months till current month(i.e Jan-Nov). In Jan 2010 i should have to generate the months from Jan-Dec.
in another view i will be using them in pivot to do some calculations.

For this i am using following SQL: CAST(DATEPART(yyyy,getdate()) as varchar) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(3),DATENAME(m,(DATEADD(m,-1,getdate())))).

I am gussing that this should give the proper result

That should work,

if you are looking at pivoting the data then you may find it useful to implement a calender table

Here is the problem, everyone is shooting in the dark. If you would like the best help possible, please read and follow the instructions detailed in the first article I reference in my signature block below regarding asking for help.

Without seeing your tables (or at least the relavent parts), sample data, expected results, and what you have tried so far; it is really difficult to provide good answers.

Plus, if you follow the instructions in that article, you will get tested code in return. What a bonus!

Cool
