REVISION OF MYSQL FUNCTIONS

FUNCTIONS IN MYSQL

A function can be defined as a set of predefined commands when called performs certain computation &
return a value.

Function in MySQL are classified in two types:


 Single Row functions
 Multiple Row functions

Single Row functions :

 Single row functions operate on a single value and return a single value.
 When applied to a table, they return a single result for every row of the queried table.

They are classified into :

 String functions
 Numeric functions
 Date & time functions

Multiple Row functions :

 These are also called aggregate functions


 Aggregate functions is used to perform calculation on group of rows and return the calculated
summary.

AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS

Function Description

MAX() Returns the maximum/highest value among the values in the given
column/expression.
MIN() Returns the minimum/lowest value among the values in the given column/expression.
SUM() Returns the sum of the values under the specified column/expression.
AVG() Returns the average of the values under the specified column/expression.
COUNT(*) Returns the total number of records in a table.
COUNT(column_name) Returns the total number of values in column.

MATH FUNCTIONS

 POWER(a,b) Returns the a raise to the power b.


Syntax : POW(M,N )
Example : SELECT POW ( 3 , 2) ; Output : 9
Example : SELECT POW (4 , - 2) ; Output : 0.0625
 ROUND(n,d) Returns the n rounded to d places after decimal.
Syntax : ROUND(N,[D])

Example : SELECT ROUND(4.43) ; Output : 4

Example : SELECT ROUND(- 4.53) ; Output : - 5

Example : SELECT ROUND(- 4.535,2) ; Output : - 4.54

 MOD(a,b) Returns remainder after integer division.


Syntax : MOD(N,M), N % M, N MOD M;

Example : SELECT MOD (17,5) ; Output : 2

Example : SELECT MOD (17 MOD 5) ; Output : 2


STRING FUNCTIONS
Syntax : LCASE(str) Example : SELECT LCASE('MYTESTSTRING'); Output : myteststring
Syntax : UPPER(str) Example : SELECT UPPER('myteststring'); Output : MYTESTSTRING
MID() extracts a substring from a string
Syntax : MID(str,pos,len) Example : SELECT MID('w3resource',4,3); Output : eso
Syntax : LENGTH(str) Example : SELECT LENGTH('text'); Output : 4
Syntax : LEFT(str,len) Example : SELECT LEFT('w3resource', 3); Output : w3r
Syntax : RIGHT(str,len) Example : SELECT RIGHT('w3resource',8); Output : resource
Syntax : INSTR(str,substr) Example : SELECT INSTR('myteststring','st'); Output : 5
Syntax : LTRIM(str) Example : SELECT LTRIM(' Hello') Output : Hello
Syntax : RTRIM(str) Example : SELECT RTRIM('w3resource '); Output : w3resource
Syntax : TRIM([{BOTH | LEADING | TRAILING} [remstr] FROM] str)
Example : SELECT TRIM(' trim '); # (leading and trailing space removed) Output : trim
Example : SELECT TRIM(LEADING 'leading' FROM 'leading text' ); Output : text
Example : SELECT TRIM(BOTH 'lead trail' FROM 'lead trail text lead trail'); Output : text
MYSQL Date Functions:
NOW() returns the value of current date and time in ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH: MM:SS’ format
