The syntax for the FLOOR() function in Oxla is:
The FLOOR() function requires one argument:
x: A positive or a negative decimal number (or an expression that evaluates to a decimal number).
The following example demonstrates how the FLOORL() function rounds down a positive decimal value:
It will return 345 as it is the closest value smaller than the argument.
The following example demonstrates how the FLOORL() function rounds down a negative decimal value:
You will get the following result as it is the nearest integer smaller than or equal to the specified argument.
The following example demonstrates how the FLOOR() function can be used with a table to round down the values in a specific column:
1) Create a new table called FloorRecords with double-precision values using the query below:
2) Retrieve the table with its value by running the following query:
3) The return table will contain the following:
- numbers, the column with the initial double-precision values.
- FloorValue, the column with the rounded-down values.
