This article will show you in detail how to use the YEAR () datetime processing function in SQL Server with specific syntax and examples to better visualize and capture functions.

SQL Server's YEAR function returns a 4-digit integer that is the year value in the timestamp passed.

Syntax

To use SQL Server's YEAR function, we use the following syntax:

 YEAR (thoigian) 

Parameters :

1. thoigian: the time you want to retrieve the 4-digit year value.

Note :

1. The YEAR function returns the result as an integer value.
2. See also the DATENAME and DATEPART functions that return similar results.
