  ELSE (ceiling((1.7E0 * 1)) / 1)
END

-- AURORA_MYSQL, MARIADB, MEMSQL, MYSQL
truncate(1.7E0, 0)

-- AURORA_POSTGRES, POSTGRES
CAST(trunc(
  CAST(1.7E0 AS numeric),
  0
) AS double precision)

-- DB2, FIREBIRD, HSQLDB, INFORMIX, ORACLE, TERADATA, VERTICA
trunc(1.7E0, 0)

-- DERBY
CASE
  WHEN sign(1.7E0) >= 0 THEN (floor((1.7E0 * 1)) / 1)
  ELSE (ceil((1.7E0 * 1)) / 1)
END

-- H2
truncate(CAST(1.7E0 AS double), 0)

-- HANA
round(1.7E0, 0, round_down)

-- SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLSERVER
