Hi, YEAR is also a keyworkd in SQL. To indicate that you want to use the function (identifier) YEAR, you need to wrap it in double quotes, e.g., sql>select year( '2002-03-21'); syntax error, unexpected YEAR in: "select year" sql>select "year"( '2002-03-21'); +-------------------+ | year_single_value | +===================+ | 2002 | +-------------------+ 1 tuple (1.735ms) Stefan On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 01:52:25AM +0300, Roula Avg wrote:
Hello, sorry to ask again but i have problem with YEAR, MONTH and DAY functions. According to the references YEAR for example can take as argument a date or a timestamp or a month_interval value. So if i run the query: sql> select year(current_timestamp); or sql> select year( '2002-03-21') it should return 2011 and 2002. Instead of this, i take: *syntax error,unexpected YEAR in: "select year". *What am i doing wrong?
Thank you very much in advance
