Getting week number of date in SQL

Question

Is there a way to get the week number of a date with SQL that is database independent?

For example to get the month of a date I use:

SELECT EXTRACT(MONTH         


        

Answer 1

Try this one : SELECT DATENAME(yy,GETDATE())+RIGHT(DATENAME(wk,GETDATE()),2)

To understand DATENAME, please follow this link : sqltutorials.blogspot.be/2007/05/sql-datename.html and for the right, suite101.com/article/sql-functions-leftrightsubstrlengthcharindex-a209089 . There are examples to better understand ;-) It will work on MS and other sql servers normally ;-)
