expression must return one of the following built-in data types:

  • DATE
  • DATE DURATIONA date duration occurs as the result of subtracting two dates.
  • TIMESTAMP
  • TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE
  • TIMESTAMP DURATIONA timestamp duration occurs as the result of subtracting two timestamps with precision=6. The result is the year portion of the derived date, or date or timestamp, duration.

Important

A CHAR/VARCHAR argument is not accepted unless converted by a DATE, TIMESTAMP, or TIMESTAMP_TZ function.

If the argument can be null, the result can be null; if the argument value is null, the result is the null value.

Example
YEAR (DATE ('1991-12-31')) 

results in an integer of value = 1991 It is invalid to specify YEAR (‘1991-12-31’) because the argument is of type CHAR.

Example
YEAR (DATE ('1991-12-31')-DATE ('1995-12-31')) 

results in an integer of value = -4
