Functions for computing trigonometric values. All arguments are in radians.
| Function (radians) | Description |
|---|---|
acos(x) | inverse cosine |
asin(x) | inverse sine |
atan(x) | inverse tangent |
atan2(y, x) | inverse tangent of y/x |
cos(x) | cosine |
cot(x) | cotangent |
sin(x) | sine |
tan(x) | tangent |
All trigonometric functions return values of type double precision.
asin and acos require arguments in the range -1 to 1. An out-of-range argument returns an error.cot(0) returns Infinity.Compute the cosine of an angle in radians.
1SELECT cos(0) AS result;Returns 1.
Combine pi with a trigonometric function.
1SELECT cot(0.25 * pi()) AS result;Returns 1.
