Given an angle in radians, returns the corresponding angle in degrees.
DEGREES ( numeric_expression )
An expression of the exact numeric or approximate numeric data type categories, or of types that are implicitly convertible to float.
Returns the same type as numeric_expression, except for the following expressions.
Specified expression
Return type
tinyint, smallint
int
real/float
float
Nonnumeric types that can be implicitly converted to float
The following example returns the degree value of various angles expressed in radians.
CREATE TABLE "Degrees" ("PI()/2" float, "PI()/3" float, "PI()/4" float); INSERT INTO "Degrees" VALUES (DEGREES(PI()/2), DEGREES(PI()/3), DEGREES(PI()/4)); SELECT * FROM "Degrees";
