SQL Tips : EXTRACT function as alternative to TO_CHAR

You want to create a sql to list data group in year (datetime datatype). Example as below : The table is smp.SC03F_TEMP with over 10 million rows. Usually, if there something deals with date we will use to_char function. As an alternative, you can use extract function to extract certain part of the date. In belows example, we extract the year of a column. As we can see the time taken is almost half for 10 million rows. Happy trying. select count(*) from smp.SC03F_TEMP; -- 10,866,921 records select count(*), to_char(A.SC03TARIKH, 'YYYY') from smp.SC03F_TEMP a group by to_char(A.SC03TARIKH, 'YYYY'); -- Time taken 54sec
