Arguments¶

real_expr: This expression should evaluate to a real number greater than or equal to -1.0 and less than or equal to +1.0.

Returns¶

The data type of the return value is FLOAT.

Returns the arc sine in radians (not degrees) in the range [-pi/2, pi/2].

Examples¶

SELECT ASIN(0), ASIN(0.5), ASIN(1);
