MariaDB DEGREES() Function



The MariaDB DEGREES() function returns an angle measured in radians to an approx. equivalent angle measured in degrees.

Syntax

DEGREES(x)

Parameters

x Required. Specify an angle in radians.

Return Value

Returns the angle measured in degrees.

Example 1:

The example below shows the usage of DEGREES() function.

SELECT DEGREES(0);
Result: 0

SELECT DEGREES(1);
Result: 57.29577951308232

SELECT DEGREES(2);
Result: 114.59155902616465

SELECT DEGREES(3);
Result: 171.88733853924697

SELECT DEGREES(PI()/3);
Result: 59.99999999999999

SELECT DEGREES(PI()/2);
Result: 90

SELECT DEGREES(PI());
Result: 180

Example 2:

Consider a database table called Sample with the following records:

Datax
Data 10
Data 21
Data 32
Data 43
Data 54

The statement given below can be used to convert the records of column x (containing values expressed in radians) into degrees.

SELECT *, DEGREES(x) AS DEGREES_Value FROM Sample;

This will produce the result as shown below:
