Select round (5236.555,-4,1) returns 0.000

Returns a numeric value that is rounded to the specified length. Note the returned value and the original value

The total number of digits has not changed.

Length: Rounding Precision. If the length is positive, the value is rounded to the number of decimal digits specified in length. If the length is negative, rounds the left portion of the numeric decimal point to the length specified by length. Note If the length is negative and is greater than the number of digits before the decimal point, 0 is returned. If the length is negative and equal to the number of digits before the decimal point and the operation is rounded, the first one less than 5 returns 0, greater than or equal to 5 causes an error to occur, and if the action method is not rounded, no error occurs, and the returned result is invariably 0.

How to do this: The default is 0 to follow rounding, and the other integer values are truncated directly.

5. Data type Conversion functions

(The following two functions are similar, but convert also provides a rich style for date conversion, cast can only perform normal date conversions)

Function Name Parameter Example description

Convert (data type [(length)], expression [, style])

Select CONVERT (nvarchar,123) returns 123

Select N ' Age: ' +convert (nvarchar,23)

Return Age: 23 (Note: If you want the results to appear correctly in the

The text needs to precede the given string with N, plus n for the database to recognize Unicode characters)

Select convert (nvarchar, getdate ())

An expression that explicitly converts an expression of one data type to another data type. Length: If the data type allows you to set the length, you can set the length, such as the varchar (10) style: The style used to convert date type data to date formats for character data types. See the table below

Back to 10:21pm

Select convert (nvarchar, GETDATE (), 101)

Back to 04/28/2009

Select convert (nvarchar, getdate (), 120)

return 2009-04-28 12:22:21

Select convert (nvarchar), GETDATE (), 120)

Back to 2009-04-28

Cast (expression as data type [(length)])

Select CAST (123 as nvarchar) returns 123

Select N ' Age: ' +cast (as nvarchar)

Return Age: 23

An expression that explicitly converts an expression of one data type to another data type. A partial style sheet that converts date type data to a date format of a character data type when an expression of two different data types is combined with an operator, the data type precedence rule specifies that the lower priority data type is first converted to a higher priority type. If this conversion is not an implicit conversion that is supported, an error is returned. When two operand expressions have the same data type, the result of the operation is that data type. If you need to convert a high-priority data type to a low-priority data type, you need to use a data type conversion function for the display conversion.

SQL Server 2005 uses the following priority order for data types (first high, then low):

Function Name Parameter Example description

NEWID no parameters

Select NEWID ()

Back to 2e6861ef-f4db-4ffe-85ea-638242f2e5f2

Select NEWID ()

Back to 09bbde6f-47c2-4e2e-81e8-afc50592280c

Returns a GUID (globally unique identifier) value

IsNumeric (arbitrary expression)

Select IsNumeric (1111) returns 1

Select IsNumeric (' 123RR ') returns 0

Select IsNumeric (' 123 ') returns 1

Determines whether an expression is a numeric type or can be converted to a numeric value. is return 1, not return 0

IsNull (arbitrary expression 1, Arbitrary expression 2)

Select IsNull (null,n ' no value ') returns no value

Select IsNull (n ' specific value ', n ' no value ')

Returns the specific value

If an arbitrary expression

1 is not NULL, its value is returned, otherwise, any expression

The type of 2 is converted to the type of any expression 1 (if the two types are different), returning any table

A value of 2.

IsDate (arbitrary expression)

Select IsDate (GETDATE ()) returns 1

Select IsDate (' 1988-1-1 ') returns 1

Select IsDate (' 198 ') returns 0

Determines whether the input expression is a valid date or can be turned into a valid date. is return 1, not return 0

Ranking function

Common use format for ranking functions: function name () over (Order by column name [asc|desc][, column name ...])

Note: The return result set is sorted according to the column specified when the Rank function is used, so do not use ORDER by again after the FROM clause, resulting in a confusing ranking.

Function name

Parameter Example Description

Row_number No parameters

Select Roductid,[name],listprice, Row_number ()

Over (order by ListPrice Desc) as rank from production.product

Number each row in the result set, starting with 1, followed by 1.

Rank no parameters

Select Productid,[name],listprice,rank ()

Over (order by ListPrice Desc) as Rank

From Production.Product

If two or more lines are associated with a rank, each association line gets the same rank, and the rank is not contiguous. For example, if the prices of the two products with the highest prices are the same, they will be listed first. Since there are already two lines ranked in front, the product with the next highest price will be ranked third. The rank equals the number of rows before the row plus one. So

The RANK function does not always return consecutive integers.

Dense_rank

No parameters

Select

Productid,[name],listprice,dense_rank ()

Over (order by ListPrice Desc) as Rank

From Production.Product

If two or more lines are associated with a rank, each association row gets the same rank, ranked consecutively.

For example, if the prices of the two products with the highest prices are the same, they will be tie, the next highest price

The product will be ranked second. So

The number returned by the Dense_rank function is uninterrupted and begins

The end has a continuous ranking.

Aggregation functions

Aggregate functions perform calculations on a set of values

, and returns a single value. In addition to COUNT, the aggregate function ignores null values. Aggregate functions are often associated with the GROUP by child of the SELECT statement

Sentence to be used together. Common use format for aggregate functions: function name ([all|distinct] expression)

All: The default value, the aggregate function operation for all values contains duplicate values. Distinct: Eliminate

Aggregate function operations are performed with the exception of duplicate values.

Function Name Example Description

Avg

SELECT avg (vacationhours) as ' average vacation hours '

From HumanResources.Employee

WHERE Title like ' Vice president% '

Returns 25

Returns the average of the values in the group. Null values will be ignored. An expression is a numeric expression.

Count

SELECT Count (*) from Production.Product returns 504

SELECT count (Color) from Production.Product returns 256

SELECT count (distinct Color) from Production.Product

Returns 9

Returns the number of items in a group. COUNT (*) returns the number of items in the group. Includes NULL values and duplicates. If you specify

An expression ignores null values. An expression is an arbitrary expression.

Min

Select min (ListPrice) from Production.Product returns 0

Returns the minimum value in a group. Null values will be ignored. An expression is a numeric expression, a string expression, and a date.

Max

Select Max (ListPrice) from Production.Product

Returns 3578.27

Returns the maximum value in a group. Null values will be ignored. An expression is a numeric expression, a string expression, and a date.

Sum

SELECT sum (sickleavehours) as ' total sick hour '

From HumanResources.Employee

WHERE Title like ' Vice president% '; Returns 97

Returns the and of all values in the group. Null values will be ignored. Expression is a numeric expression
