radian_value
A numeric expression that specifies the angle in radians for which the sine is to be calculated.

Return Value(s)​

Returns the sine of the specified angle.

Examples​

Calculate the sine of π/2 radians​

SELECT SIN(PI() / 2) AS sine_value;

This query returns 1, as the sine of π/2 radians is 1.
