In this article, we would like to show you how to group rows by year in MySQL.

Quick solution:

SELECT
    DATE_FORMAT(`datetime_column_name`, '%Y') as `alias_name`
FROM `table_name`
GROUP BY YEAR(`datetime_column_name`);

 

Practical example

To show how to group rows by year, we will use the following table:

MySQL - example data used to group rows by year
MySQL - example data used to group rows by year

Note:

At the end of this article you can find database preparation SQL queries.

Example

In this example, we will display all the years from the users table grouped, so we don't get any duplicates.

Query:

SELECT
    DATE_FORMAT(`registration_time`, '%Y') as `date`
FROM `users`
GROUP BY YEAR(`registration_time`) DESC;

Result:

MySQL - group rows by year - result
MySQL - group rows by year - result

Note:

Go to this article to read how to count rows per year.

Database preparation

create_tables.sql file:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
	`id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`username` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
	`registration_time` DATETIME NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

insert_data.sql file:

INSERT INTO `users`
	(`username`, `registration_time`)
VALUES
	('Tom', '2021-01-01 11:41:31'),
	('Chris','2021-02-02 11:42:45'),
	('Jack','2021-03-03 15:13:39'),
    ('Kim','2021-03-03 15:24:51'),
    ('Marco','2020-03-03 22:35:38'),
	('Kate','2019-04-04 22:46:51'),
	('Nam','2019-04-04 22:57:37');
