SQL Server: Get data for only the past year

I found this page while looking for a solution that would help me select results from a prior calendar year. Most of the results shown above seems return items from the past 365 days, which didn't work for me.

At the same time, it did give me enough direction to solve my needs in the following code - which I'm posting here for any others who have the same need as mine and who may come across this page in searching for a solution.

SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE year(*your date column*) = year(DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()))

Thanks to those above whose solutions helped me arrive at what I needed.


The following adds -1 years to the current date:

SELECT ... From ... WHERE date > DATEADD(year,-1,GETDATE())

Well, I think something is missing here. User wants to get data from the last year and not from the last 365 days. There is a huge diference. In my opinion, data from the last year is every data from 2007 (if I am in 2008 now). So the right answer would be:

SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GETDATE()) - 1

Then if you want to restrict this query, you can add some other filter, but always searching in the last year.

SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GETDATE()) - 1 AND DATE > '05/05/2007'
