MySQL ROUND Function: Rounding

The ROUND() function in MySQL is used to round a number to the nearest whole number or to a specified number of decimal places.

Here's the syntax:

ROUND(number, decimal_places);

number: the number you want to round.
decimal_places: the number of decimal places to which you want to round the number. If this parameter is omitted, the number is rounded to the nearest whole number.

For instance, if you want to round the number 3.14159 to 2 decimal places, you can use the ROUND() function as follows:

SELECT ROUND(3.14159, 2);

This will return: 3.14

If you want to round a number to the nearest whole number, you can omit the decimal_places parameter:

SELECT ROUND(3.14159);

This will return: 3

You can also use the ROUND() function with columns in a table. For example, let's say you have a table products with a price column, and you want to round the price to 2 decimal places. You can do it like this:

SELECT price, ROUND(price, 2) as rounded_price
FROM products;

This query will return a result set with the original price and the rounded price for each row in the products table.

Remember, the ROUND() function does not change the original data in the table. It only returns the rounded number as a result of the query.
