Precautions

MaxCompute V2.0 provides additional functions. If the functions that you use involve new data types that are supported in the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition, you must execute the SET statement to enable the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition. The new data types include TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT, FLOAT, VARCHAR, TIMESTAMP, and BINARY.

  • Session level: To use the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition, you must add set odps.sql.type.system.odps2=true; before the SQL statement that you want to execute, and commit and execute them together.

  • Project level: The project owner can enable the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition for the project based on the project requirements. The configuration takes effect after 10 to 15 minutes. To enable the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition at the project level, run the following command:

    setproject odps.sql.type.system.odps2=true;

    For more information about setproject, see Project operations. For more information about the precautions that you must take when you enable the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition at the project level, see Data type editions.

ABS

  • Syntax

    bigint|double|decimal abs(<number>)
  • Description

    Calculates the absolute value of number.

  • Parameters

    number: required. The value is of the DOUBLE, BIGINT, or DECIMAL type. If the input value is of the STRING type, the value is implicitly converted into a value of the DOUBLE type before calculation.

    Note

    If the input value is of the BIGINT type and is greater than the maximum value of the BIGINT type, a value of the DOUBLE type is returned. However, the precision may be lost.

  • Return value

    The data type of the return value depends on the data type of the input parameter. The return value varies based on the following rules:

    • If the value of number is of the DOUBLE, BIGINT, or DECIMAL type, a value of the same type is returned.

    • If the value of number is of the STRING type, a value of the DOUBLE type is returned.

    • If the value of number is set to null, null is returned.

RAND

  • Syntax

    double rand(bigint <seed>)
  • Description

    Returns a random number of the DOUBLE type. The value ranges from 0 to 1.

Parameters

  • seed: optional. The value is of the BIGINT type. This parameter specifies the random seed that determines the starting point in generating random numbers.

    Note

    You can use seed to determine the random number sequence. After seed is determined, the return value of this function is fixed. If the execution environment is the same and the seed value remains unchanged, the return value is the same. If you need to return different results, you must modify the seed value.

    You can add the following parameter before the SQL statement, the default value is false.

    set odps.sql.executionengine.enable.rand.time.seed=true | false;
    • When the parameter value is false, the RAND function uses the current InstanceId as a random number for initializing the seed, which ensures the idempotence of the function.

    • When the parameter value is true, the RAND function uses the current system time as a random number for initializing the seed. However, the RAND function is no longer idempotent and cannot be used as a Shuffle Key, because it results in different outcomes upon re-execution.

  • Return value

    A value of the DOUBLE type is returned.

  • Examples

    -- The return value is 4.7147460303803655E-4. 
    select rand();
    -- The return value is 0.7308781907032909. 
    select rand(1);

ROUND

  • Syntax

    double|decimal round(<number>[, bigint <decimal_places>])
  • Description

    Returns a number rounded to the specified decimal place.

  • Parameters

    • number: required. A value of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type. If the input value is of the STRING or BIGINT type, the value is implicitly converted into a value of the DOUBLE type before calculation.

    • decimal_places: optional. The value is a constant of the BIGINT type. This parameter specifies the decimal place to which the number is rounded. If this parameter is not specified, the number is rounded to the ones place. The default value is 0.

      Note

      The value of decimal_places can be negative. A negative value indicates counting from the decimal point to the left, and the decimal part is excluded. If decimal_places exceeds the length of the integer part, 0 is returned.

  • Return value

    A value of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type is returned. The return value varies based on the following rules:

    • If the value of number is of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type, a value of the same type is returned.

    • If the value of number is of the STRING or BIGINT type, a value of the DOUBLE type is returned.

    • If decimal_places is not of the BIGINT type, an error is returned.

    • If the value of number or decimal_places is null, null is returned.

  • Examples

    • Examples of static data

      -- The return value is 125.0. 
      select round(125.315);
      -- The return value is 125.3. 
      select round(125.315, 1);
      -- The return value is 125.32. 
      select round(125.315, 2);

      select round(null);
      -- The return value is 123.345. 
      select round(123.345, 4);
      -- The return value is 0.0. 
      select round(123.345, -4);
    • Example of table data

    A value of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type is returned. The return value varies based on the following rules:

    • If the value of number is of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type, a value of the same type is returned.

    • If the value of number is of the STRING or BIGINT type, a value of the DOUBLE type is returned.

    • If the value of number is null, null is returned.

  • Examples

    • Examples of static data

      -- The return value is 1.0. 
      select tanh(30);
      -- The return value is null. 
      select tanh(null);
    • Example of table data

      Calculate the hyperbolic tangent of values in a column based on the sample data. Sample statement:

      select tanh(bigint_data) as bigint_new, tanh(double_data) as double_new, tanh(decimal_data) as decimal_new, tanh(string_data) as string_new from mf_math_fun_t;

TRUNC

  • Syntax

    double|decimal trunc(<number>[, bigint <decimal_places>])
  • Description

    Truncates the input value of number to the specified decimal place.

    Note

    If the Hive-compatible data type edition is used, this function is not a mathematical function. It is used to convert a date value. For more information about the related date function, see DATETRUNC. You must configure the data type edition of your MaxCompute project based on your business requirements. For more information about data type editions, see Data type editions.

  • Parameters

    • number: required. A value of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type. If the input value is of the STRING or BIGINT type, the value is implicitly converted into a value of the DOUBLE type before calculation.

    • decimal_places: optional. The value is a constant of the BIGINT type. This parameter specifies the position where the number is truncated. If this parameter is not specified, the number is truncated to the ones place. decimal_places can be a negative value, which indicates that the number is truncated from the decimal point to the left and the decimal part is left out. If decimal_places exceeds the length of the integer part, 0 is returned.

  • Return value

    A value of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type is returned. The return value varies based on the following rules:

    • If the value of number is of the DOUBLE or DECIMAL type, a value of the same type is returned.

    • If the value of number is of the STRING or BIGINT type, a value of the DOUBLE type is returned.

    • If decimal_places is not of the BIGINT type, an error is returned.

    • If the value of number or decimal_places is null, null is returned.

    Note
    • If a value of the DOUBLE type is returned, the return value may not be displayed properly. This issue exists in all systems. For more information, see trunc(125.815,1) in this example.

    • The number is filled with zeros from the specified position.

  • Examples

    • Examples of static data

      -- The return value is 125.0. 
      select trunc(125.815,0);
      -- The return value is 125.80000000000001. 
      select trunc(125.815,1);
      -- The return value is 125.81. 
      select trunc(125.815,2);
      -- The return value is 125.815. 
      select trunc(125.815,3);
      -- The return value is -125.81. 
      select trunc(-125.815,2);
      -- The return value is 120.0. 
      select trunc(125.815,-1);
      -- The return value is 100.0. 
      select trunc(125.815,-2);
      -- The return value is 0.0. 
      select trunc(125.815,-3);
      -- The return value is 123.345. 
      select trunc(123.345,4);
      -- The return value is 0.0. 
      select trunc(123.345,-4);
      -- The return value is null. 
      select trunc(123.345,null);
    • Example of table data

      Truncate numbers in a column to the specified decimal place based on the sample data. Sample statement:

      select trunc(bigint_data, 1) as bigint_new, trunc(double_data,1) as double_new, trunc(decimal_data, 1) as decimal_new, trunc(string_data, 1) as string_new from mf_math_fun_t;

      The following result is returned:

      +------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+
      | bigint_new | double_new          | decimal_new | string_new |

UNHEX

  • Syntax

    binary unhex(string <number>)
  • Description

    Converts a hexadecimal string into a string. This function is an additional function of MaxCompute V2.0.

  • Parameters

    number: required. The value is a hexadecimal string.

  • Return value

    A value of the BINARY type is returned. The return value varies based on the following rules:

    • If the value of number is 0, an error is returned.

    • If the value of number is null, null is returned.

  • Examples

    -- The return value is abc. 
    select unhex('616263');
    -- The return value is abc. 
    select unhex(616263);
    -- The return value is null. 
    select unhex(null);

WIDTH_BUCKET

  • Syntax

    width_bucket(numeric <expr>, numeric <min_value>, numeric <max_value>, int <num_buckets>)
  • Description

    Specifies the number of buckets and the minimum and maximum values of the acceptable range for a bucket. It allows you to construct equi-width buckets, in which the bucket range is divided into intervals that have an identical size. It returns the ID of the bucket into which the value of a specific expression falls. This function supports the following data types: DECIMAL(precision,scale) in the MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition, BIGINT, INT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, and DECIMAL. For more information, see MaxCompute V2.0 data type edition. This function is an additional function of MaxCompute V2.0.

  • Parameters

    • expr: required. This parameter specifies the expression for which you want to identify the matching bucket ID.

    • min_value: required. This parameter specifies the minimum value of the acceptable range for the bucket.

    • max_value: required. This parameter specifies the maximum value of the acceptable range for the bucket. The value must be greater than min_value.

    • num_buckets: required. This parameter specifies the number of buckets. The value must be greater than 0.

  • Return value

    A value of the BIGINT type is returned. The value ranges from 0 to num_buckets plus 1. The return value varies based on the following rules:

    • If the value of expr is less than that of min_value, 0 is returned.

    • If the value of expr is greater than that of max_value, the value of num_buckets plus 1 is returned.

    • If the value of expr is null, null is returned. In other cases, the ID of the bucket into which the value falls is returned. The bucket ID is named based on the following formula: Bucket ID = floor(num_buckets × (expr - min_value)/(max_value - min_value) + 1).

    • If the value of min_value, max_value, or num_buckets is null, null is returned.

  • Examples

    • Example 1: The values of all input parameters are not null. The following commands provide an example:

      select key,value,width_bucket(value,100,500,5) as value_group
      from values 
          (1,99),
          (2,100),

          (7,501),
          (8,NULL)
      as t(key,value);

      The following result is returned:

      +-------+--------+-------------+
      | key   | value  | value_group |
      +-------+--------+-------------+
      | 1     | 99     | 0           |

      | 7     | 501    | 6           |
      | 8     | NULL   | NULL        |
      +-------+--------+-------------+
    • Example 2: The value of an input parameter is null. The following commands provide an example:

      select key,value,width_bucket(value,100,500,null) as value_group
      from values
          (1,99),
          (2,100),
