T round(T x[, d]) Rounds the argument x to d decimal places. d defaults to 0 if not specified. If d is negative, the left d digits of the decimal point are 0. If x or d is null, null is returned. 2.5 will round up to 3. If you want to round down to 2, please use the round_bankers function.

If d is a column, and x has Decimal type, scale of result Decimal will always be same with input Decimal.
