Examples¶

The following demonstrates the use of the functions YEAR, MONTH, DAY, DAYOFWEEK, DAYOFYEAR, and QUARTER:

SELECT 
       '2013-05-08T23:39:20.123-07:00'::TIMESTAMP AS tstamp,
       YEAR(tstamp) AS "YEAR", 
       QUARTER(tstamp) AS "QUARTER OF YEAR",
       MONTH(tstamp) AS "MONTH", 
       DAY(tstamp) AS "DAY",
       DAYOFMONTH(tstamp) AS "DAY OF MONTH",
       DAYOFYEAR(tstamp) AS "DAY OF YEAR";
+-------------------------+------+-----------------+-------+-----+--------------+-------------+
| TSTAMP                  | YEAR | QUARTER OF YEAR | MONTH | DAY | DAY OF MONTH | DAY OF YEAR |
|-------------------------+------+-----------------+-------+-----+--------------+-------------|
| 2013-05-08 23:39:20.123 | 2013 |               2 |     5 |   8 |            8 |         128 |

The following demonstrates the use of the functions WEEK, WEEKISO, WEEKOFYEAR, YEAROFWEEK, and YEAROFWEEKISO. The session parameter WEEK_OF_YEAR_POLICY is set to indicate that the first week of the year is the week that contains January 1st of that year.

ALTER SESSION SET WEEK_OF_YEAR_POLICY = 1;

Copy

SELECT 
       '2016-01-02T23:39:20.123-07:00'::TIMESTAMP AS tstamp,
       WEEK(tstamp) AS "WEEK",
       WEEKISO(tstamp) AS "WEEK ISO",
       WEEKOFYEAR(tstamp) AS "WEEK OF YEAR",
       YEAROFWEEK(tstamp) AS "YEAR OF WEEK",
       YEAROFWEEKISO(tstamp) AS "YEAR OF WEEK ISO"
       ;
+-------------------------+------+----------+--------------+--------------+------------------+
| TSTAMP                  | WEEK | WEEK ISO | WEEK OF YEAR | YEAR OF WEEK | YEAR OF WEEK ISO |
|-------------------------+------+----------+--------------+--------------+------------------|
| 2016-01-02 23:39:20.123 |    1 |       53 |            1 |         2016 |             2015 |
+-------------------------+------+----------+--------------+--------------+------------------+

The following also demonstrates the use of the functions WEEK, WEEKISO, WEEKOFYEAR, YEAROFWEEK, and YEAROFWEEKISO. The session parameter WEEK_OF_YEAR_POLICY is set to indicate that the first week of the year is the first week of the year that contains at least 4 days from that year. (So, for example, the week December 26, 2010 through January 1st, 2011 is considered the last week of 2010, not the first week of 2011, because although it contains January 1st, 2011, less than half of the week is in 2011.)

ALTER SESSION SET WEEK_OF_YEAR_POLICY = 0;

Copy

SELECT 
       '2016-01-02T23:39:20.123-07:00'::TIMESTAMP AS tstamp,

       WEEKISO(tstamp) AS "WEEK ISO",
       WEEKOFYEAR(tstamp) AS "WEEK OF YEAR",
       YEAROFWEEK(tstamp) AS "YEAR OF WEEK",
       YEAROFWEEKISO(tstamp) AS "YEAR OF WEEK ISO"
       ;
+-------------------------+------+----------+--------------+--------------+------------------+
