Check for leap year

Question

How do I check if a year is a leap year?

I have this code:

declare @year int
set @year = 1968

SELECT CASE WHEN @YEAR =  THEN \'LEAP          


        

Answer 1

I Have a better solution

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.IsLeapYear(@year INT)
RETURNS BIT AS  
     BEGIN
          DECLARE @d DATETIME,
                  @ans BIT      
          SET @d = CONVERT(DATETIME,'31/01/'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),@year),103)
          IF DATEPART(DAY,DATEADD(MONTH,1,@d))=29 SET @ans=1 ELSE SET @ans=0
          RETURN @ans
    END
GO

Answer 2

Not sure how efficient this is compared to the other solutions. But is another option.

DECLARE @year int = 2016
SELECT CASE 
  WHEN DATEPART(dayofyear, DATEFROMPARTS(@year, 12, 31)) = 366
  THEN 'LEAP' 
  ELSE 'NOT LEAP' 
END

Answer 3

Check for 29th Feb:

CASE WHEN ISDATE(CAST(@YEAR AS char(4)) + '0229') = 1 THEN 'LEAP YEAR' ELSE 'NORMAL YEAR' END

or use the following rule

CASE WHEN (@YEAR % 4 = 0 AND @YEAR % 100 <> 0) OR @YEAR % 400 = 0 THEN 'LEAP YEAR'...

Answer 4

3 line... but could be also 2...

DECLARE @Y as int = 2021;
DECLARE @Dt as char(10) = CAST(@Y as CHAR(4)) + '-02-29'
SELECT IIF(isDATE(@Dt) = 1, 1,0)

or

DECLARE @Dt as char(10) = '2020-02-29'
SELECT IIF(isDATE(@Dt) = 1, 1,0)

Answer 5

This could also help

DECLARE @year INT = 2012

SELECT IIF(DAY(EOMONTH(DATEFROMPARTS(@year,2,1))) = 29,1,0)  
Result: 1 --(1 if Leap Year, 0 if not)

SELECT IIF(DAY(EOMONTH(DATEFROMPARTS(@year,2,1))) = 29,'Leap year','Not Leap year')  
Result: Leap year 

Answer 6

MOST EFFICIENT LEAP YEAR TEST:

CASE WHEN @YEAR & 3 = 0 AND (@YEAR % 25 <> 0 OR @YEAR & 15 = 0) THEN ...
