Numeric functions

Numeric functions return numeric values (integer, long, float, double, biginteger, bigdecimal). They generally take numeric values as inputs, though some take strings.

RAND()

Returns a random number, using generator established so far in the query or initializing with system clock if necessary.

Returns double.

RAND(x)

Returns a random number, using new generator seeded with x. This should typically be called in an initialization query. It will only effect the random values returned by the Teiid RAND function and not the values from RAND functions evaluated by sources.

[a] The precision and scale of non-bigdecimal arithmetic function functions results matches that of Java. The results of bigdecimal operations match Java, except for division, which uses a preferred scale of max(16, dividend.scale + divisor.precision + 1), which then has trailing zeros removed by setting the scale to max(dividend.scale, normalized scale).

Parsing numeric datatypes from strings

Teiid offers a set of functions you can use to parse numbers from strings. For each string, you need to provide the formatting of the string. These functions use the convention established by the java.text.DecimalFormat class to define the formats you can use with these functions. You can learn more about how this class defines numeric string formats by visiting the Sun Java Web site at the following URL for Sun Java.

For example, you could use these function calls, with the formatting string that adheres to the java.text.DecimalFormat convention, to parse strings and return the datatype you need:

Input String Function Call to Format String Output Value Output Datatype

'$25.30'

parseDouble(cost, '$,0.00;($,0.00)')

25.3

double

'25%'

parseFloat(percent, ',#0%')

25

float

'2,534.1'

parseFloat(total, ',0.;-,0.')

2534.1

float

'1.234E3'

parseLong(amt, '0.###E0')

1234

long

'1,234,567'

parseInteger(total, ',0;-,0')

1234567

integer
