With this post i am trying to provide bit of explanation and some examples of round trunc ceil and floor functions in oracle database.
Difference between round and floor in sql.
Therefore round function does not round the value.
Sql server round ceiling and floor examples for integer data types.
Default value of i is 0.
Meanwhile round will round number that has decimal value lower than 0 5 to lower int and when more than 0 5 to higher int.
In the output we can see that all three sql rounding functions round ceiling and floor return the same output for the positive integer value.
So floor 1 2 1 and floor 1 9 1.
Round rounds down or up e g.
In sql queries sometimes we need to round off some decimal or float values at that time we always think that which option to be applied while we have three different kinds of system defined sql rounding functions ceiling floor and round.
Very similar to round x 0 1.
Floor returns the integer value less than or equal to the value passed in.
Floor will simply drop decimal value and return only integer.
Consider the following example.

1 61 1 6 floor a1 0 1 ceiling rounds always up eg.
If d is 0 then the decimal point is removed.
If d is negative then d number of values in the integer part of the value is truncated.
Similarly ceiling and floor function also do not return the smallest or largest integer value.
Rounddown 1 61 1 1 6.
We do not have any decimal digit.
Round returns n rounded to i places to the right of the decimal point.
Some cases both returns same result.
The argument i can be negative to round off digits left of the decimal point.
Floor evaluates the value on the right side of the decimal and returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified numeric expression and accepts one value.
1 61 1 7 ceiling a1 0 1 not sure if they exist already in 2007 usinig 2010 there is now also a roundup rounddown.
Trunc and round function looks similar but not exactly.
Difference between floor ceiling and round.
Oddly round x 0 1 returns almost the same value as floor.
Round function used to round the number to the nearest while trunc used to truncate delete the number from some position.
1 3 1 1 5 2 round a1 0 floor rounds always down e g.
Let s walk through each function with a few different data types to see the results.
But while round returns the same scale where possible as the data type passed in the data type floor returns has a 0 scale where possible.
The truncate function is used to return the value of x truncated to d number of decimal places.
