Yes, you can give the year as a column name in MySQL table since it isn’t a reserved word. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Year int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.87 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(1995); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(2019); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(2016); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(2018); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | Year | +------+ | 1995 | | 2019 | | 2016 | | 2018 | +------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select “year” named column from MySQL table −
mysql> select year from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | year | +------+ | 1995 | | 2019 | | 2016 | | 2018 | +------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
