How about this one   SELECT TO CHAR ASOFDATE   YYYY   FROM PSASOFDATE

Edit  due to post-tag  oracle   the first two queries become irrelevant  leaving 3rd query for oracle  For MySQL  SELECT YEAR ASOFDATE  FROM PASOFDATE  Editted  In anycase if your date is a String  let s convert it into a proper date format  And select the year out of it  SELECT YEAR STR TO DATE ASOFDATE    d- b- Y    FROM PSASOFDATE  Since you are trying Toad  can you check the following code  For Oracle  SELECT EXTRACT  TO DATE YEAR   MM DD YY   FROM ASOFDATE  FROM PSASOFDATE   Reference

just pass the columnName as parameter of YEAR  SELECT YEAR ASOFDATE  from PSASOFDATE    another is to use DATE FORMAT  SELECT DATE FORMAT ASOFDATE    Y   from PSASOFDATE     SQLFiddle Demo   UPDATE 1  I bet the value is varchar with the format MM dd YYYY  it that s the case   SELECT YEAR STR TO DATE  11 15 2012     m  d  Y        SQLFiddle Demo   LAST RESORT if all the queries fail  use SUBSTRING  SELECT SUBSTRING  11 15 2012   7  4     SQLFiddle Demo
