You can use the date_format function in Presto to get the month name from a date. Here is an example query:

1
2
SELECT date_format(date_column, '%M') AS month_name
FROM table_name;


In this query, date_column is the column containing the date values and table_name is the name of the table. The %M format specifier is used to extract the full month name (e.g. "January", "February") from the date.


You can also use other format specifiers to get different variations of the month name, such as abbreviated month name (%b) or month number (%m). Here is a list of some common format specifiers for month names:

  • %M : Full month name (e.g. "January")
  • %b : Abbreviated month name (e.g. "Jan")
  • %m : Month number (01-12)


You can choose the appropriate format specifier based on your requirements.
