MySQL LOG10 Example 2

The MySQL LOG10 Function also allows you to find and return the base 10 logarithmic value of a column data.

In this Mathematical Function example, we are going to find the base 10 logarithmic values for all the MySQL records present in Sales Amount, Standard Cost, and Tax Amount columns.

SELECT EnglishProductName, 
       Color,
       StandardCost,
       LOG10( StandardCost) AS Log10StdCost,
       SalesAmount,
       LOG10( SalesAmount) AS Log10SalesAmount,
       TaxAmt,
       LOG10( TaxAmt) AS Log10TaxAmt
  FROM `MySQL Tutorial`.`mathemetical functions`;
