SQL | Numeric Functions
Numeric Functions are used to perform operations on numbers and return numbers.
Following are the numeric functions defined in SQL:
- ABS(): It returns the absolute value of a number.
Syntax: SELECT ABS(-243.5);
Output: 243.5
SQL> SELECT ABS(-10); +--------------------------------------+ | ABS(10) +--------------------------------------+ | 10 +--------------------------------------+
- ACOS(): It returns the cosine of a number.
Syntax: SELECT ACOS(0.25);
Output: 1.318116071652818
- ASIN(): It returns the arc sine of a number.
Syntax: SELECT ASIN(0.25);
Output: 0.25268025514207865
- ATAN(): It returns the arc tangent of a number.
Syntax: SELECT ATAN(2.5);
Output: 1.1902899496825317
- CEIL(): It returns the smallest integer value that is greater than or equal to a number.
Syntax: SELECT CEIL(25.75);
Output: 26
- CEILING(): It returns the smallest integer value that is greater than or equal to a number.
Syntax: SELECT CEILING(25.75);
Output: 26
- COS(): It returns the cosine of a number.
Syntax: SELECT COS(30);
Output: 0.15425144988758405

Syntax: SELECT COT(6);
Output: -3.436353004180128
- DEGREES(): It converts a radian value into degrees.
Syntax: SELECT DEGREES(1.5);
Output: 85.94366926962348
SQL>SELECT DEGREES(PI()); +------------------------------------------+ | DEGREES(PI()) +------------------------------------------+ | 180.000000 +------------------------------------------+

- FLOOR(): It returns the largest integer value that is less than or equal to a number.
Syntax: SELECT FLOOR(25.75);
Output: 25
- GREATEST(): It returns the greatest value in a list of expressions.
Syntax: SELECT GREATEST(30, 2, 36, 81, 125);
Output: 125
- LEAST(): It returns the smallest value in a list of expressions.
Syntax: SELECT LEAST(30, 2, 36, 81, 125);
Output: 2
- LN(): It returns the natural logarithm of a number.
Syntax: SELECT LN(2);
Output: 0.6931471805599453
- LOG10(): It returns the base-10 logarithm of a number.
Syntax: SELECT LOG(2);
Output: 0.6931471805599453
- LOG2(): It returns the base-2 logarithm of a number.
Syntax: SELECT LOG2(6);
Output: 2.584962500721156
- MOD(): It returns the remainder of n divided by m.
Syntax: SELECT MOD(18, 4);
Output: 2
- PI(): It returns the value of PI displayed with 6 decimal places.
Syntax: SELECT PI();
Output: 3.141593
- POW(): It returns m raised to the nth power.
Syntax: SELECT POW(4, 2);
Output: 16
- RADIANS(): It converts a value in degrees to radians.
Syntax: SELECT RADIANS(180);
Output: 3.141592653589793
- RAND(): It returns a random number.
Syntax: SELECT RAND();
Output: 0.33623238684258644

- TRUNCATE(): This doesn’t work for SQL Server. It returns 7.53635 truncated to 2 places right of the decimal point.
Syntax: SELECT TRUNCATE(7.53635, 2);
Output: 7.53
