The query should work for all projects in the projects table where everyone has a seperate startdate for the series.
For the join I need ( project_id, month_nr ).
When I tried I couldn't figure out how to feed the startdate into Filip's expression without using the function to encapsulate the generate_series().
The folowing doesn't work:
select project_id,
( select to_char ( m, 'YYYYMM' )::integer
from generate_series ( projects.createdate, current_date, '1 month'::interval ) as m
)
from projects
order by 1, 2;
