Lookup the manual for "round()" but be sure that you understand it if you use round in financial applications as it might be unexpected for you: mysql> SELECT 25E-1 = 2.5, round(25E-1, 0), round(2.5,0); +-------------+-----------------+--------------+ | 25E-1 = 2.5 | round(25E-1, 0) | round(2.5,0) | +-------------+-----------------+--------------+ | 1 | 2 | 3 | +-------------+-----------------+--------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > "Also could someone give a hint how to recode digits in order to anonymize > data." Depending on what exactly you want, play around with random() and substring(). bye, -christian- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
