Lots of ways. The following springs to mind but I'm sure there are
simpler ways (I'm assuming the date_from and date_to are data-type date
and you are stuck with using int for year and month).
Use date_trunc to convert any date in a month to the first of the month
and the following should work (untested):
...
date_trunc('month', date_from) <= (int1::text || '-' || int2::text ||
'-1')::date and
date_trunc('month', date_to) >= (int1::text || '-' || int2::text ||
'-1')::date
...
Cheers,
Steve
