The following are SQL math functions supported by VistaDB.

Expand this topic to see the functions.

ABS - Absolute value of a number

ACOS - Arc Cosine - Returns the angle (in radians) whose cosine is the given float.

ASIN - Arc Sine

ATAN - Arc Tangent

ATN2 - This function returns ATAN(y/x) and is specific only to SQL Server. We have included it for compatibility purposes.

CEILING - Ceiling returns the next highest value that is greater or equal to the input

COS - Cosine

COT - Cotangent

DEGREES - Conversion routine for converting from RADIANS to DEGREES

EXP - Returns the math constant e (~2.71828183) raised to the power of the number passed.

FLOOR - Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the number input.

FRAC - Returns the decimal part of a real number.

INT - Returns the integer (whole) part of a real number.

LOG - The natural logarithm of the input number.

LOG10 - The base-10 logarithm of the input number.

MAXOF - Selects the largest value in a math set.

MINOF - Selects the smallest value in a math set.

PI - Returns the value of PI.

POWER - Returns the value of the input number to the given power (x^y).

RADIANS - Given in input in degrees the function returns radians.

RAND - Returns a random float value from 0-1

ROUND - Rounds the number given to the specified number of decimal places.

SIGN - Returns the positive, zero, or negative sign of the input value.

SIN - Sine

SQRT - Square Root

SQUARE - Given a number returns the square of the input.

TAN - Returns the tangent of the input value.


Remarks

Invalid operations will return NaN (Not a Number).
