The simplest solution is to create what I call a 'month key' which is an integer representation of a year and month. You can then convert this to a char for comparison. It's actually quite simple:
extract(year, current_date) * 100 + extract(month, current_date)
Multiplying any number by 100 results in adding two zeroes to the end. The current year is 2014 so 2014 times 100 equals 201400. You are then free to add the month to get a 'month key'. 201400 + 6 = 201406. You can then convert this integer to a char and make your comparison. The final filter expression becomes:
[DateCol] = cast(extract(year, current_date) * 100 + extract(month, current_date), char(6))
Note: The technique of making integer 'keys' for dates can be extended to days as well and has many applications, namely sorting. The following expression will give you an integer 'day key' which retains the numerical order and hierarchy of the original date:
extract(year, current_date) * 10000 + extract(month, current_date) * 100 + extract(day, current_date)
