helas, with sql7 there is no xp_sqlagent_proxy_account

how is this working for SQL7.0 sp4  ?

I've seen...

"DATEADD(mm,-4,GETDATE())" would be preferable because that way, at.ass_stopdate will still be sargeble and it's index (?) might be used

select year(datetimecolumn) as Year_datetimecolumn

, month(datetimecolumn) as Month_datetimecolumn

, count(*) as Counter

from mytable

group by  year(datetimecolumn)

, month(datetimecolumn)

order by Year_datetimecolumn, Month_datetimecolumn
