How to Round Up a Number to the Nearest Integer in SQL

To round up a number to the nearest integer in SQL, use the ROUND() function.

This function takes two arguments, the number you want to round up and the number of decimal places you want to round it to.

For example, if you wanted to round up the number 3.14 to the nearest integer, you would use the following query:

SELECT ROUND(3.14, 0);

Examples

Let's look at a few examples of how this function can be used. Suppose you have a table called numbers with the following data:

If you wanted to round up each of these numbers to the nearest integer, you would use the following query:

SELECT ROUND(number, 0) FROM numbers;

This query would return the result 3, 3, 4, since each of the numbers is rounded up to the nearest integer.
