This should work if the date format is consistent   select SUBSTRING INDEX  subdateshow     -1   from table

try this code   SELECT YEAR  str to date  subdateshow    m  d  Y      AS Mydate

User · Answer

This should work   SELECT YEAR STR TO DATE subdateshow    m  d  Y    FROM table    eg   SELECT YEAR STR TO DATE  01 17 2009     m  d  Y         shows  2009

Since your subdateshow is a VARCHAR column instead of the proper DATE  TIMESTAMP or DATETIME column you have to convert the string to date before you can use YEAR on it   SELECT YEAR STR TO DATE subdateshow    m  d  Y    from table   See http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 5 en date-and-time-functions html function str-to-date
