Chapter 8, Problem 9SCG

SQL includes many numerical functions. Two of these functions are FLOOR and CEIL. Use the Internet to research these functions. Are the functions available in Oracle, SQL Server, and Access? Write a paragraph that discusses what the functions do and any differences and/or similarities between the functions in Oracle, SQL Server, and Access. Then perform the following tasks:

1. a. Solmaris Condominium Group would like to know the impact of discounting its condo fees by 3 percent. Write an SQL statement in Oracle that displays the condo ID, unit number, discounted condo fee, discounted condo fee with the CEIL function, and discounted condo fee with the FLOOR function.
2. b. Based on your research, will the values in the three columns vary? If so, how? Use the condo with the ID of 1 to explain your answer. Be sure to cite your references.
