Another solution other than a view is to create a calculated field and 
group on it.

For example, say you wanted to group on the year of the hire_date in the 
employee table of the employee sample database included with InterBase:

alter table employee add hire_year computed by (extract(year from 
hire_date));
select hire_year,count(*) from employee group by hire_year;
