Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

FLOOR function

The FLOOR function rounds a number down to the next whole number.

Syntax

FLOOR(number)

Argument

Return type

FLOOR returns the same data type as its argument.

When the input is of the SUPER type, the output retains the same dynamic type as the input while the static type remains the SUPER type. When the dynamic type of SUPER isn't a number, Amazon Redshift returns NULL.

Examples

The following examples use the TICKIT sample database. For more information, see Sample database.

To show the value of the commission paid for a given sales transaction before and after using the FLOOR function, use the following example.

SELECT commission

|      28.05 |
+------------+

SELECT FLOOR(commission) 
FROM sales 
WHERE salesid=10000;

+-------+
| floor |
+-------+
|    28 |
