The above sample table can be created using the code here.

Basic usage

To return the largest integer smaller than or equal to -13.5:

SELECT FLOOR(-13.5);
+--------------+
| FLOOR(-13.5) |
+--------------+
| -14 |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

To return the largest integer smaller than or equal to the average age of students:

SELECT FLOOR(AVG(age)), AVG(age)
FROM students;
+-----------------+----------+
| FLOOR(AVG(age)) | AVG(age) |
+-----------------+----------+
| 17 | 17.4000 |
+-----------------+----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Here, 17 is the largest integer smaller than 17.4 (the average age of students).
