Hi,

 

I'm getting following error: Syntax error: expected something between the 'and' keyword and the 'month' keyword. 

 

Code:

select a.*, b.* from table1 a inner join table2 b 

on a.client = b.client AND month(a.date1) = month(b.date2);

Post your full code and log. 

 

If you're using SQL Pass Thru then you need to be using Teradata functions, where MONTH() may not be a Teradata function.
