ActiveRecord Find By Year, Day or Month on a Date field

Question

I have an ActiveRecord model that has a date attribute. Is it possible to utilize that date attribute to find by Year, Day and Month:

Model.find_by_year(201         


        

Answer 1

For MySQL try this out

Model.where("MONTH(date_column) = 12")
Model.where("YEAR(date_column) = 2012")
Model.where("DAY(date_column) = 24")

Answer 2

In Postgresql v 11+(i've tested): below way works

Model.where('extract(year  from date_column::date) = ?', desired_year)
Model.where('extract(month from date_column::date) = ?', desired_month)
Model.where('extract(day   from date_column::date) = ?', desired_day_of_month)
