The SIN function returns the sine of the argument, where the argument is an angle expressed in radians. The SIN and ASIN functions are inverse operations.

expression
An expression that returns a value of any built-in numeric, character-string, or graphic-string data type. A string argument is converted to double-precision floating point before evaluating the function. For more information on converting strings to double-precision floating point, see DOUBLE_PRECISION or DOUBLE.

The data type of the result is double-precision floating point. If the argument can be null, the result can be null; if the argument is null, the result is the null value.
