Hi,

If you want to round your value to the specified no. of digits, use round(). Else if you want to extract the values without rounding use truncate().

mysql > select round(blustat,2) from parts; [the value will get rounded to the nearest decimal]
or
mysql > select truncate (blustat,2) from parts; [no rounding, simply extract only the value of specified digits]

Subject: rounding digits after decimal sign


Hello,
Can anyone point me to a section of manual or link how to reduce digits
after
a decimal sign?
I have a table

mysql> desc part;
+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field   | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| kod     | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| bulstat | double(15,5) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| Land    | varchar(3)   | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| ID      | varchar(15)  | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| IME     | varchar(100) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| VALUE   | double(15,5) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| CNT     | smallint(5)  | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| Date    | datetime     | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

and in bulstat column i have digits like  831690750.00000
which i would like round to the last whole digit.
Also could someone give a hint how to recode digits in order to anonymize
data.

My end goal is to export the dataset into a social network software for my
thesis.
 Thanks,
