In DuckDB, the bit_and()
function returns the bitwise AND
 of all bits in a given expression.
Let’s take a quick look at the bit_and()
function, along with some simple examples.

function, along with some simple examples.
The TAN()
function in SQLite calculates the tangent of an angle provided in radians. The tangent is the ratio of sine to cosine (or the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle).
If you’re getting an error that reads something like “No function matches the given name and argument types ‘bool_and(INTEGER)’” in DuckDB, it’s probably because you’re passing a non-boolean value to the bool_and()
function.
The bool_and()
function is for use against boolean expressions, so to fix this issue, be sure that the argument you pass to the function is a boolean expression.
The favg()
function in DuckDB calculates averages using a floating point summation method known as Kahan summation (or compensated summation). This method helps reduce the accumulation of rounding errors that can occur when many floating point numbers are involved when using the regular avg()
function.
In DuckDB, avg()
is an aggregate function that returns the average of all non-NULL values in its argument (usually a column).
In this article we’ll take a quick look at this function, along with some basic examples.

This article explores how to create an in-memory database in DuckDB.
Continue readingSQLite is a lightweight, self-contained database engine renowned for its simplicity and flexibility. One of its unique features is the way it handles data types through type affinity, which determines how SQLite associates values with storage classes.
Unlike many database systems that enforce strict type constraints, SQLite’s type affinity system is more flexible, accommodating a broader range of data.
Continue readingIn DuckDB, arg_min()
is an aggregate function that finds the row with the minimum value in one column and returns the corresponding value from another column at that row. Rows where either of the first two expressions is NULL
 are ignored.
In this article we explore DuckDB’s arg_min()
function with some simple examples.
In DuckDB, arg_max()
is an aggregate function that finds the row with the maximum value in one column and returns the corresponding value from another column at that row. Rows where either of the first two arguments is NULL
 are ignored.
Let’s take a look at the arg_max()
with some straightforward examples.
In SQLite, the pow()
function calculates the result of raising one number to the power of another. In other words, it performs an exponentiation operation.
The pow()
function is particularly useful for mathematical operations where powers or exponents are required.
It’s also available as power()
. Both syntaxes do the same thing.
