Check out the documentation here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/functions-formatting.html#FUNCTIONS-FORMATTING-TABLE
Something like
select to_char(date_col,'Month YYYY') from tablename;
might do the trick, if date_col is your column with a timestamp.

Subject: [NOVICE] Formatting a month in query output
