What is the data at your disposal when trying to select the current year? If it
is a timestamp, simply use date_part:
=# select date_part('year', now());
date_part
-----------
2014

It is *datetime*. Now my users are created at different date...
say -
user1 24/02/1997
user2 28/02/2011
user3 02/03/2001
user4 01/03/2003
.....
But I have some requirment, where date/month part will be as it is... but as
per the current year, I will replace the actual year with the current year,
while I will be displaying it. To meet this need, I am currently doing as
select to_char(created_at,'DD/MM') || '/' || to_char(now(),'YYYY') as when
from users;
