RADIANS (Transact-SQL)
SQL Server 2005
Returns radians when a numeric expression, in degrees, is entered.
Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions
- numeric_expression
-
Is an expression of the exact numeric or approximate numeric data type category, except for the bit data type.
A. Using RADIANS to show 0.0
The following example returns a result of 0.0 because the numeric expression to convert to radians is too small for the RADIANS function.
SELECT RADIANS(1e-307) GO
Here is the result set.
------------------- 0.0 (1 row(s) affected)
B. Using RADIANS to return the equivalent angle of a float expression.
The following example takes a float expression and returns the RADIANS of the specified angle.
-- First value is -45.01.
DECLARE @angle float
SET @angle = -45.01
SELECT 'The RADIANS of the angle is: ' +
CONVERT(varchar, RADIANS(@angle))
GO
-- Next value is -181.01.
DECLARE @angle float
SET @angle = -181.01
SELECT 'The RADIANS of the angle is: ' +
CONVERT(varchar, RADIANS(@angle))
GO
-- Next value is 0.00.
DECLARE @angle float
SET @angle = 0.00
SELECT 'The RADIANS of the angle is: ' +
CONVERT(varchar, RADIANS(@angle))
GO
-- Next value is 0.1472738.
DECLARE @angle float
SET @angle = 0.1472738
SELECT 'The RADIANS of the angle is: ' +
CONVERT(varchar, RADIANS(@angle))
GO
-- Last value is 197.1099392.
DECLARE @angle float
SET @angle = 197.1099392
SELECT 'The RADIANS of the angle is: ' +
CONVERT(varchar, RADIANS(@angle))
GO
Here is the result set.
--------------------------------------- The RADIANS of the angle is: -0.785573 (1 row(s) affected) --------------------------------------- The RADIANS of the angle is: -3.15922 (1 row(s) affected) --------------------------------------- The RADIANS of the angle is: 0 (1 row(s) affected) --------------------------------------- The RADIANS of the angle is: 0.00257041 (1 row(s) affected) --------------------------------------- The RADIANS of the angle is: 3.44022 (1 row(s) affected)
