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

Since we are doing this one to death - you don't have to specify a year:

select * from demo
where  somedate between to_date('01/01 00:00:00', 'DD/MM HH24:MI:SS')
                and     to_date('31/12 23:59:59', 'DD/MM HH24:MI:SS');

However the accepted answer by FerranB makes more sense if you want to specify all date values that fall within the current year.
