Some additional information on your data structure and requirements would help. Assuming your data is in a table with a date and a value, e.g.: table myTable ( theDate date, theValue integer); and you want to generate a result set with the sum of the values that fall within the given months, you could use: select jandata.total "Jan", febdata.total "Feb", mardata.total "Mar", aprdata.total "Apr", ... from (select sum(theValue) total from myTable where theDate >= '01/01/2009' and theDate < '02/01/2009') jandata, (select sum(theValue) total from myTable where theDate >= '02/01/2009' and theDate < '03/01/2009') febdata, (select sum(theValue) total from myTable where theDate >= '03/01/2009' and theDate < '04/01/2009') mardata, ... This is brute force, but doesn't require any PL/SQL or unions. (Above is in Transact-SQL, in Oracle you would need to cast the dates using the "to_date" function.)

Bizarre - why no union, which would make that trivial? With those constraints, I think you are correct that the only solution is a table of month names.

From database table you access months in Data Table object by using query

" SELECT * FROM  tableMonth"

then catch in DataTable object of  ADO.net

public DataTable SelectPeron(int Pid) { DataTable tab = new DataTable(); string Con = @"Data Source=sureit44;Initial Catalog=MydataBase;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sitdev;Password=sitdev1"; using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(Con)) { string query="Select * FROM tableMonth"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con); con.Open(); using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd)) da.Fill(tab); con.Close(); } return tab; After that Bind the tab object With DropDownList

ddl.DataSource=tab;
ddl.DataBind();

I think this will help you  and  u will get  your  d -zire result
Thanks

> without using pl/sql t-sql >and less union one union ^-))

with mth as(
select 1 as mnum
union all 
select 1 + mnum from mth where mnum<12)
select mnum, datename(month,DATEADD(month,mnum-1,'010101'))  from mth;

Hi guys !! =D I think I can finally can collaborate in a good manner =D. Check out this one: SELECT TOP 12 DATENAME(MONTH, DATEADD(MONTH,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY object_id) - 1,0)) FROM sys.columns Do you like it?
