EXTRACT

Syntax

EXTRACT(unit FROM date)

Description

The EXTRACT() function extracts the required unit from the date. See Date and Time Units for a complete list of permitted units.

In MariaDB 10.0.7 and MariaDB 5.5.35, EXTRACT (HOUR FROM ...) was changed to return a value from 0 to 23, adhering to the SQL standard. Until MariaDB 10.0.6 and MariaDB 5.5.34, and in all versions of MySQL at least as of MySQL 5.7, it could return a value > 23. HOUR() is not a standard function, so continues to adhere to the old behaviour inherited from MySQL.

Examples

SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM '2009-07-02');
+---------------------------------+
| EXTRACT(YEAR FROM '2009-07-02') |
+---------------------------------+
|                            2009 |
+---------------------------------+

SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM '2009-07-02 01:02:03');
+------------------------------------------------+
| EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM '2009-07-02 01:02:03') |
+------------------------------------------------+
|                                         200907 |
+------------------------------------------------+

SELECT EXTRACT(DAY_MINUTE FROM '2009-07-02 01:02:03');
+------------------------------------------------+
| EXTRACT(DAY_MINUTE FROM '2009-07-02 01:02:03') |
+------------------------------------------------+
|                                          20102 |
+------------------------------------------------+

SELECT EXTRACT(MICROSECOND FROM '2003-01-02 10:30:00.000123');
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| EXTRACT(MICROSECOND FROM '2003-01-02 10:30:00.000123') |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                    123 |
+--------------------------------------------------------+

From MariaDB 10.0.7 and MariaDB 5.5.35, EXTRACT (HOUR FROM...) returns a value from 0 to 23, as per the SQL standard. HOUR is not a standard function, so continues to adhere to the old behaviour inherited from MySQL.

SELECT EXTRACT(HOUR FROM '26:30:00'), HOUR('26:30:00');
+-------------------------------+------------------+
| EXTRACT(HOUR FROM '26:30:00') | HOUR('26:30:00') |
+-------------------------------+------------------+
|                             2 |               26 |
+-------------------------------+------------------+
