And if you use the YEARWEEK() function in MySQL, you get the ISO 8601
standard results (including the year).

You've pointed out that MS SQL Server does not use the ISO 8601 standard
for the definition of the week number.

I will also note that you can define the first day of the week using SET
DATEFIRST in MS SQL, which probably explains (at least in part) why it
does not conform to the ISO 8601 standard.

Try your experiment again using DATEPART(isowk,<date>) instead of
DATEPART (wk,<date>).

I take this back: YEARWEEK() does _not_ appear to use the ISO 8601
standard -- the definition of a "week" appears to be different.

Also, compare with WEEKOFYEAR() results.

IIRC iso weeks start on Monday, ordinary weeks start on Sunday.
Look at the linux 'date' command, specifically %V (%G) and %U
That may suggest why 20210101 is isoweek 53.

The first "full" week of the year under ISO standard 8601 is the first week
with four days/first week with a Thursday in it (ISO weeks start on Monday,
not Sunday, as noted above).

In this group, though, we should be talking about the functions WEEK(),
YEARWEEK(), and WEEKOFYEAR(), not DATEPART(), since MySQL doesn't have a
DATEPART() function.
