SQL arithmetic operators
Arithmetic operators take two numeric values (either literals or variables) and perform a calculation that returns a single numeric value.
| Operator | Description | |
|---|---|---|
+ | Addition | |
- | Subtraction | |
* | Multiplication | |
/ | Division | |
% | Modulo |
+
The + operator adds two operands together and returns the sum.
SELECT 1 + 2| int64(1) + int64(2) |
|---|
| 3 |
-
The - operator subtracts the right operand from the left operand and returns
the difference.
SELECT 4 - 2| int64(4) - int64(2) |
|---|
| 2 |
*
The * operator multiplies two operands together and returns the product.
SELECT 2 * 3| int64(2) * int64(3) |
|---|
| 6 |
/
The / operator divides the left operand by the right operand and returns the quotient.
SELECT 6 / 3| int64(6) / int64(3) |
|---|
| 2 |
%
The % (modulo) operator divides the left operand by the right operand and returns the
remainder. If the left operand is not divisible by the right operand, it returns
the left operand.
SELECT 8 % 3| Int64(8) % Int64(3) |
|---|
| 2 |
SELECT 3 % 8| Int64(3) % Int64(8) |
|---|
| 3 |
