Difference between Mod & Remainder functions in oracle..?

ApexLearnMar 12 2018 — edited Mar 12 2018

Hi All,

Can anyone explain the difference between mod & remainder functions in oracle.

Example1 :

Remainder :

SELECT remainder(37,5) as remainder FROM DUAL;

O/P : 2

Mod :

SELECT mod(37,5) as mod FROM DUAL;

O/P : 2

Example2 :

Remainder :

SELECT remainder(20,3) as remainder FROM DUAL;

O/P : -1

Mod :

SELECT mod(20,3) as mod FROM DUAL;

O/P : 2

From the above examples i could not able to understand the remainder function.

Thanks,

Hanu
