Extract Year part from Date in postgresql table:

We will be using  Below Student_detail table for our example to depict on how to extract year part from timestamp in postgresql

Student_detail:

In the above table we will be using DATE_PART() Function, which will take “year”  and column named “birthdaytime” as argument. Which will extract year part from “birthdaytime” column and store in the new column of postgresql table as shown below

select *, DATE_PART('year', birthdaytime::timestamp) AS year_part from Student_detail

so the resultant table will have year_part column

Extract Year part from Datetime in postgresql table using Extract():

We will be using Below Student_detail table for our example to depict on how to extract Year part from datetime in postgresql

Student_detail:

In the above table we will be using  EXTRACT() Function, which will take “Year” and column named “birthdaytime” as argument. Which will extract Year from “birthdaytime” column and store in the new column of postgresql table as shown below
