Returns the integral part of the division of dividend by divisor.

Arguments

  • dividend: An expression that evaluates to a numeric or interval.
  • divisor: A matching interval type if dividend is an interval, a numeric otherwise.

Interval is supported since: Databricks Runtime 10.1

Returns

If divisor is 0, INTERVAL '0' SECOND or INTERVAL '0' MONTH the operator raises a DIVIDE_BY_ZERO error.

In Databricks Runtime, if spark.sql.ansi.enabled is false, the function returns NULL instead of a DIVIDE_BY_ZERO error.
