The ASIN() function in SQL is a mathematical function that returns the inverse sine or arcsine of a number.
Syntax
ASIN(number)
The specified number must be between -1 and 1, otherwise this function returns NULL.
Example
In this example, the following data is given in the numbers table:
| id | input_number |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.6 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | -0.9 |
The ASIN() function is used to calculate the arcsine as output_number:
SELECT id, input_number, ASIN(input_number) AS output_numberFROM numbers;
The output will be:
| id | input_number | output_number |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.6 | 0.64350110879328437 |
| 2 | 1 | 1.5707963267948966 |
| 3 | -0.9 | -1.1197695149986342 |
Note: For the use of this method with SQL databases like MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server, refer to their respective documentation for more details on the
ASIN()function implementation and compatibility.
