Hello everyone

I have a problem with getting the year our of a datetimeoffset field.
I would like to Group a bunch of records by year but whenever i try to get the year out i recieve en error from the SQL server.

My code is as follows

Select YEAR[Posting Date]
From [Cust. Ledger Entry]

If i remove the YEAR it Works fine and i get 11.000 rows with date stamp like this format:
2013-04-29 00:00:00.0000000 +00:00

Why is this not working for me??

What's the error? That will tell you why it isn't working.

But if what you typed is exact then you have a syntax problem.

Should be YEAR([Posting Date])

Solution 1

In SQL brackets used to enclose object (column, table) names that contains keywords to make interpretation easier...
However YEAR[^] is a function and should be used with parentheses...

SQL

Select YEAR([Posting Date])
From [Cust. Ledger Entry]
