Hi,
Is there a function in Vertica like the INT function in Oracle?
Example INT(4.56) would be 4.
Thanks!

Are you just looking for the FLOOR function?
Code: Select all
dbadmin=> SELECT FLOOR('4.56');
FLOOR
-------
4
(1 row)

Yeah, thanks Norbert! For some reason I thought I tried that function and observed rounding issues, so I was using the TRUNC function, like this:
Code: Select all
dbadmin=> SELECT FLOOR(4.56), TRUNC(4.56)::INT;
FLOOR | TRUNC
-------+-------
4 | 4
(1 row)
The FLOOR function is obviously the better choice
