Scalar Numeric Functions Supported by QuNect ODBC for QuickBase

All numeric functions return values of data type SQL_FLOAT except for ABS, ROUND, TRUNCATE, SIGN, FLOOR, and CEILING, which return values of the same data type as the input parameters.

Arguments denoted as numeric_exp can be the name of a column, the result of another scalar function, or a numeric-literal, where the underlying data type could be represented as SQL_NUMERIC, SQL_DECIMAL, SQL_TINYINT, SQL_SMALLINT, SQL_INTEGER, SQL_BIGINT, SQL_FLOAT, SQL_REAL, or SQL_DOUBLE.

Arguments denoted as float_exp can be the name of a column, the result of another scalar function, or a numeric-literal, where the underlying data type can be represented as SQL_FLOAT.

Arguments denoted as integer_exp can be the name of a column, the result of another scalar function, or a numeric-literal, where the underlying data type can be represented as SQL_TINYINT, SQL_SMALLINT, SQL_INTEGER, or SQL_BIGINT.

The CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME, and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP scalar functions have been added in ODBC 3.0 to align with SQL-92.

Function	Description
{fn ABS(numeric_exp)}	Returns the absolute value of numeric_exp.
{fn ACOS(float_exp)}	Returns the arccosine of float_exp as an angle, expressed in radians.
{fn ASIN(float_exp)}	Returns the arcsine of float_exp as an angle, expressed in radians.
{fn ATAN(float_exp)}	Returns the arctangent of float_exp as an angle, expressed in radians.
{fn ATAN2(float_exp1, float_exp2)}	Returns the arctangent of the x and y coordinates, specified by float_exp1 and float_exp2, respectively, as an angle, expressed in radians.
{fn CEILING(numeric_exp)}	Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to numeric_exp. The return value is of the same data type as the input parameter.
{fn COS(float_exp)}	Returns the cosine of float_exp, where float_exp is an angle expressed in radians.
{fn COT(float_exp)}	Returns the cotangent of float_exp, where float_exp is an angle expressed in radians.
{fn DEGREES(numeric_exp)}	Returns the number of degrees converted from numeric_exp radians.
{fn EXP(float_exp)}	Returns the exponential value of float_exp.
{fn FLOOR(numeric_exp)}	Returns the largest integer less than or equal to numeric_exp. The return value is of the same data type as the input parameter.
{fn LOG(float_exp)}	Returns the natural logarithm of float_exp.
{fn LOG10(float_exp)}	Returns the base 10 logarithm of float_exp.
{fn MOD(integer_exp1, integer_exp2)}	Returns the remainder (modulus) of integer_exp1 divided by integer_exp2.
{fn PI( )}	Returns the constant value of pi as a floating-point value.
{fn POWER(numeric_exp, integer_exp)}	Returns the value of numeric_exp to the power of integer_exp.
{fn RADIANS(numeric_exp)}	Returns the number of radians converted from numeric_exp degrees.
{fn RAND([integer_exp])}	Returns a random floating-point value using integer_exp as the optional seed value.
{fn ROUND(numeric_exp, integer_exp)}	Returns numeric_exp rounded to integer_exp places right of the decimal point. If integer_exp is negative, numeric_exp is rounded to \|integer_exp\| places to the left of the decimal point.
{fn SIGN(numeric_exp)}	Returns an indicator of the sign of numeric_exp. If numeric_exp is less than zero, –1 is returned. If numeric_exp equals zero, 0 is returned. If numeric_exp is greater than zero, 1 is returned.
{fn SIN(float_exp)}	Returns the sine of float_exp, where float_exp is an angle expressed in radians.
{fn SQRT(float_exp)}	Returns the square root of float_exp.
{fn TAN(float_exp)}	Returns the tangent of float_exp, where float_exp is an angle expressed in radians.
{fn TRUNCATE(numeric_exp, integer_exp)}	Returns numeric_exp truncated to integer_exp places right of the decimal point. If integer_exp is negative, numeric_exp is truncated to \|integer_exp\| places to the left of the decimal point.
