TRUNCATE

TRUNCATE

Description

Perform numerical truncation on x to the number of decimal places d

Syntax

TRUNCATE(<x>, <d>)

Parameters

ParameterDescription
<x>The value that needs to be numerically truncated
<d>The number of decimal places to retain

Return Value

Perform numerical truncation on x to the number of decimal places d. Truncation rules:

If d is a literal:

  • When d > 0: Keep d decimal places of x.
  • When d = 0: Remove the decimal part of x and retain only the integer part.
  • When d < 0: Remove the decimal part of x and replace the integer part with the number of digits specified by d, using the digit 0.

If d is a column, and the first argument is of type Decimal, then the resulting Decimal will have the same number of decimal places as the input Decimal

Example

d is a litera

select truncate(124.3867, 2),truncate(124.3867, 0),truncate(124.3867, -2);
+-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------+
| truncate(124.3867, 2) | truncate(124.3867, 0) | truncate(124.3867, -2) |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------+
|                124.38 |                   124 |                    100 |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------+

d is a column

select cast("123.123456" as Decimal(9,6)), number, truncate(cast ("123.123456" as Decimal(9,6)), number) from numbers("number"="5");
+---------------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
