Question

Is there an implemented way to retrieve separately day, month and year from a Date field in T-SQL? Everything I’ve found is to make the process the other way around, in my case I mean if I have 2012-05-22 I would like to have 3 different methods to get as a result 2012, 05 and 22 respectively.

Thanks in advance.

If it’s SQL Server, you can use DATEPART (MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174420.aspx)

Example:

DECLARE @yourDate DATETIME
SET @yourDate = '2012-05-22'

SELECT DATEPART(DAY, @yourDate), 
       DATEPART(MONTH, @yourDate),
       DATEPART(YEAR, @yourDate)
