How do I get the current year using SQL on Oracle?

Question

I need to add the current year as a variable in an SQL statement, how can I retrieve the current year using SQL?

i.e.

  BETWEEN 
    TO_DATE(\'01/01/**         


        

Answer 1

Yet another option would be:

SELECT * FROM mytable
 WHERE TRUNC(mydate, 'YEAR') = TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'YEAR');
