SQL Function

Microsoft SQL Server provides many built-in functions that can manipulate and analyze data in various ways, including date/time functions to work with dates and times, aggregate functions to perform calculations on sets of rows, string functions to modify and work with text, mathematical functions for calculations on numbers, and ranking functions to assign ranks to rows. Some examples of commonly used functions are GETDATE() to return the current date/time, COUNT() to count rows, CONCAT() to concatenate strings, ABS() to return the absolute value of a number, and RANK() to assign unique ranks to rows.

Microsoft SQL Server provides a wide range
of built-in functions that can be used to
manipulate and analyze data in various
ways.

Let's learn some of the commonly used


types of built-in functions.
Date Time functions

SQL Date Time functions are used to


manipulate and format date and time
values.
EXAMPLES

Returns the current system date


GETDATE) and time in the format YYYY-MM
DD HH:MI:SS.

Returns a specific part of a date,


DATEPART)
such as the year, month, or day.

Returns the difference between


DATEDIFF0 two dates in a specified unit, such
as days or hours

Adds or subtracts a specified time


DATEADD) interval (such as days, hours, or
minutes) to a date.
Aggregate functions
SQL Aggregate functions are used to
perform calculations on a set of rows and
return a single value as the result.
EXAMPLES

Returns the number of rows that


cOUNT)
match a specified condition.

Returns the sum of a numneric


SUM) column.

Returns the average value of a


AVG) numeric column.

Returns the smallest value in a


MINO column.

Returns the maximum value in a


MAX) column.
String Functions
SQL String functions help you modify
and work with text data in your database,
like combining words, finding specific
words, trimming,and formatting.
EXAMPLES

Used to concatenate two or more


cONCATO
strings into a single string.

Used to convert a specified string


UPPER)
to all uppercase letters.

Used to convert a specified string


LOWERO to all lowercase letters.

Used to replace all occurrences of


REPLACE) a substring in a specified string
with a new substring.
Mathematical Functions
SQL Mathematical functions are used to
perform calculations and operations on
numerical data within a SQL query.
EXAMPLES

Returns the absolute (positive)


ABS) value of a number, regardless of
its sign.

Returns the smallest integer value


CEILING0 that is greater than or equal to a
given number.

Returns the largest integer value


FLOOR) that is less than or equal to a given
number.

Returns the square root of a given


sQRTO number.
Ranking Functions
SQL Ranking functions are used to assign
a rank or row number to each row within
a result set.
EXAMPLES

Assigns a unique ranking to each


rowwithin a result set, where ties
RANKO are assigned the same rank and
the next consecutive rank is not
skipped.

Assigns a unique ranking to each


row within a result set, where ties
DENSE_RANK) are assigned the same rank and
the next consecutive rank is
skipped.

Returns the number of rows that


ROW_NUMBER)
match a specified condition.
