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:

  1. for floating point types (FLOAT, DOUBLE) the C libraries rounding function is used, so the behavior *may* differ between operating systems
  1. 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.

Examples

SELECT ROUND(-1.23);
+--------------+

+--------------+

SELECT ROUND(-1.58);
+--------------+
| ROUND(-1.58) |
+--------------+
|           -2 |
+--------------+

SELECT ROUND(1.58); 
+-------------+
| ROUND(1.58) |
+-------------+
|           2 |
