The log2() function in SQLite calculates the base-2 logarithm of a given number.
This function can be useful for scenarios such as binary calculations, information theory, or situations where the base-2 logarithm is needed.

A Quick Look TANH() in SQLite
The tanh() function in SQLite calculates the hyperbolic tangent of a number.
The hyperbolic tangent is the ratio of hyperbolic sine to hyperbolic cosine, producing values between -1 and 1.
Continue readingUnderstanding the TRUNC() Function in SQLite
The SQLite TRUNC() function is used to truncate a number to an integer. It returns the integer part of its argument rounding toward zero.
TRUNC()is similar to CEIL() and FLOOR(), except that TRUNC() always rounds toward zero. CEIL() on the other hand, always rounds up, and FLOOR() always rounds down.
Overview of LOG() in SQLite
The LOG() function in SQLite calculates the logarithm of a given number to a specified base, with 10 being the default base.
This is helpful for logarithmic transformations or calculations requiring a specific base (e.g., base 10 for common logarithms or base 2 for binary logarithms).
Continue readingHow the CEIL() and CEILING() Functions Work in SQLite
In SQLite, the ceil() and ceiling() functions are used to return the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to a given number. They both serve the same purpose, and either function can be used interchangeably.
Understanding the RADIANS() Function in SQLite
The RADIANS() function in SQLite is a mathematical function that converts an angle from degrees to radians. This can be handy when working with trigonometric calculations in your database queries, as some mathematical functions (such as SIN(), TAN()) expect angles in radians rather than degrees.
How ASIN() Works in SQLite
The ASIN() function in SQLite calculates the arc sine (inverse sine) of a given numeric value. The result is the angle in radians whose sine is the specified number.
Understanding the ACOS() Function in SQLite
The ACOS() function in SQLite is used to calculate the arc cosine (inverse cosine) of a given numeric value. The result is the angle in radians whose cosine is the specified number.
SQLite’s json_valid() Now Accepts an Argument that Defines What “Valid” Means
SQLite’s json_valid() function allows us to check whether a JSON string is well formed or not.
Prior to SQLite 3.45.0 the json_valid() function only accepts one argument – the value to check. However, from SQLite 3.45.0 (released on 15 January 2024), we can now provide an optional second argument to define what valid – or “well formed” – means.
Fix ‘Parse error: near “LIMIT”‘ in SQLite When Using the VALUES Statement
If you’re getting a SQLite error that reads ‘Parse error: near “LIMIT”‘, it could be that you’re trying to use the LIMIT clause when using the VALUES clause as a stand alone statement.
SQLite doesn’t allow us to apply the LIMIT clause against the VALUES statement.
However, there is a work around. Below is an example of how we can apply the LIMIT clause against the VALUES statement.
