The data type of the returned value is a DOUBLE PRECISION number.
Syntax
SIN ( number )
SINH function
The SINH function returns the hyperbolic sine of a specied number.
The specied number is the angle, in radians, that you want the hyperbolic sine for. The specied number must
be a DOUBLE PRECISION on page 629 number.
If the specied number is NULL, the result of this function is NULL.
If the specied number is zero (0), the result of this function is zero.
The data type of the returned value is a DOUBLE PRECISION number.

SIN ( number )
SMALLINT function
The SMALLINT function returns a small integer representation of a number or character string in the form of
a small integer constant.
Syntax
SMALLINT ( NumericExpression | CharacterExpression )
An expression that returns a value of any built-in numeric data type. If the argument is
a NumericExpression, the result is the same number that would occur if the argument
NumericExpression
were assigned to a small integer column or variable. If the whole part of the argument
is not within the range of small integers, an error occurs. The decimal part of the argument
is truncated if present.
An expression that returns a character string value of length not greater than the maximum
length of a character constant. Leading and trailing blanks are eliminated and the resulting
CharacterExpression
string must conform to the rules for forming an SQL integer constant. However, the
value of the constant must be in the range of small integers. The character string cannot
be a long string. If the argument is a CharacterExpression, the result is the same number
that would occur if the corresponding integer constant were assigned to a small integer
column or variable.
The result of the function is a small integer. If the argument can be null, the result can be null. If the argument
is null, the result is the null value.
Examples
To determine the small integer representation of the number 32767.99, use this clause:
VALUES SMALLINT (32767.99)
The result is 32767.
To determine the small integer representation of the number 1, use this clause:
VALUES SMALLINT (1)
The result is 1.
