SQL ROUND() Example

We have the following "Products" table:

Prod_Id	ProductName	Unit	UnitPrice
1	Jarlsberg	1000 g	10.45
2	Mascarpone	1000 g	32.56
3	GorgonzAnto	1000 g	15.67

Now we want to display the product name and the price rounded to the nearest integer.

We use the following SELECT statement:

SELECT ProductName, ROUND(UnitPrice,0) as UnitPrice FROM Products

The result-set will look like this:

ProductName	UnitPrice
Jarlsberg	10
Mascarpone	33
GorgonzAnto	16
