The SQL ROUND function is used to round a numeric field or expression to a specified precision. It takes two parameters: the value to round and the number of decimal places to retain.<\/p>\n

Syntax:
\nROUND(expression, number of decimal places)<\/p>\n

Explanation of parameters:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Values \u200b\u200bor expressions that need to be rounded to the nearest whole number.<\/li>\n
  2. decimal_places: The number of decimal places to be retained.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Assume there is a table called “sales” with a numerical field named “amount”. We can use the ROUND function to round the values in the “amount” field to a specified number of decimal places.<\/p>\n

    Choose the sales amount rounded to two decimal places.<\/p>\n

    The statement will return the value of the amount field in the sales table, rounded to two decimal places.<\/p>\n

    It is important to note that the ROUND function has a special behavior: if the number of decimal places to keep is 0, the result returned will be an integer instead of a decimal number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
