In PostgreSQL, asind()
is a mathematical function that returns the angle, in degrees, whose sine is the specified expression.
In other words, it returns the arcsine of its argument.
The arcsine is typically used to find the measure of an angle when two sides of a right triangle are known.
The arcsine is the inverse of the sine function. To return the sine in Postgres, use sind()
to specify the angle in degrees, or sin()
to specify it in radians.
