MySQL SIN Function

MySQL SIN function is one of the Numeric Function which is used to calculate the trigonometric sine value of the specified expression. The mathematical formula behind this function is: SIN(x) = Length of the Opposite Side / Length of the Hypotenuse.

In this article we will show you, How to find sine value in MySQL using Command Prompt, and Workbench with example.

MySQL SIN Syntax

The basic syntax of the SIN in MySQL is as shown below:

SELECT SIN (Numeric_Expression)
FROM Source

To demonstrate this MySQL SIN Numeric function, we are going to use the below shown data

MySQL SIN Function Example 1

The MySQL SIN Function is used to return the trigonometric sine value for any numeric value. The following query will show multiple ways to use SIN function.

-- MySQL SIN Function Example

-- Sine of Negative Value
SELECT SIN(-15.35) AS `Sine Value`;

-- Sine of Positive Value
SELECT SIN(5.25) AS `Sine Value`;

-- Sine of Numeric Expression
SELECT SIN(2.25 + 2.75 - 5.00) AS `Sine Value`;

-- Sine of string value
SELECT SIN('9.73') AS `Sine Value`;

-- Sine of String
SELECT SIN('MySQL') AS `Sine Value`;

As you can from the below screenshot, we used SIN function to find the Sine values for different values. And, we assigned a new name to the result as ‘ Sine Value’ using ALIAS Column.

MySQL SIN Example 2

In MySQL, SIN Numeric Function also allows you to find the sine values for the data in a table. In this example, we are going to find the sine for all the records present in Tax Amount column, and Service Grade column.

-- MySQL Sine Function Example
USE mysqltutorial;
SELECT Product, Color,
		StandardCost, Sales, TaxAmt,
        SIN(TaxAmt) AS `Tax Sine Value`,
        ServiceGrade,
        SIN(ServiceGrade) AS `Grade Sine Value`
FROM `numeric functions`;
