ROUND

Round a number. This function rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places.

Syntax

ROUND(X), ROUND(X,D)

Description

Rounds the argument X to D decimal places. D defaults to 0 if not specified.D can be negative to cause D digits left of the decimal point of the value X to become zero.

The rounding algorithm depends on the data type of X:

• For floating-point types (FLOAT, DOUBLE) the C libraries rounding function is used, so the behavior may differ between operating systems.

• For fixed-point types (DECIMAL, DEC/NUMBER/FIXED) the "round half up" rule is used, meaning that e.g. a value ending in exactly .5 is always rounded up.
