Read Original

This technical article analyzes how major DBMS like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server automatically rewrite WHERE clause expressions using date/time functions (e.g., EXTRACT(YEAR FROM ...), YEAR(...)) into range expressions to leverage sort-based indexes. It includes a comparison chart and discusses the unconditional rewrite behavior, even when function-based indexes exist, providing insights for SQL performance tuning.
