-- AURORA_MYSQL, H2, MARIADB, MEMSQL, MYSQL
truncate(1.7, 0)

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

-- BIGQUERY, CUBRID, DB2, FIREBIRD, HSQLDB, INFORMIX, INGRES, ORACLE, TERADATA, VERTICA
trunc(1.7, 0)

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

-- HANA
round(1.7, 0, round_down)

-- SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLSERVER
