    I need to compare a column with type int to the current year and next year. Right now I have it as following:

    SELECT username FROM someTable WHERE membershipYear = DATEPART(yyyy, GETDATE()) OR membershipYear = DATEPART(yyyy, GETDATE()+1)

    I am unsure if I can compare membershipYear (int type) and GETDATE() (date type). Also, I don't even know if GETDATE()+1 is a valid statement for getting the next year. I usually would just test and troubleshoot from there, but this is live and the procedure is currently tied to a login. I don't just want to push something that will cause it to break.

     Thanks in advance for your understanding and help.

    this will do 

    SELECT username FROM someTable WHERE membershipYear = DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE()) 
OR membershipYear = datepart(yyyy,DATEADD(YEAR, 1, getdate()))
