SQL-groep per jaar

Wat dacht je van:

select datepart(yyyy, [date]) as [year]
from shoptransfer 
group by datepart(yyyy, [date])

Of:

select count(*) as qty, datepart(yyyy, [date]) as [year]
from shoptransfer 
group by datepart(yyyy, [date])
order by [year]

Dit is gebaseerd op het commando van OP:"Ik wil groeperen op jaardeel van de datumkolom (varchar)"
