Subject Re: [ib-support] Group By Month, Day, Year etc...

A possible little different solution might be

1. Modify your table add MyMonth Integer;
2. Create before and before update triggers for your table
both with
if (New.MyDate is not Null)then
New.MyMonth = Extract(Month from New.MyDate);
3. Now you can generate your monthly summaries using
select sum(money),MyMonth from Table
group by MyMonth
order by MyMonth;
