How to make numbers 'human readable' in MySQL?
To make numbers ‘human readable’ i.e. including separators, you need to use format(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable859(Number bigint);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.54 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable859 values(747464646473737);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.45 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable859 values(3836365366464);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.71 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable859 values(8376437647433);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.46 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable859;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+
| Number |
+-----------------+
| 747464646473737 |
| 3836365366464 |
| 8376437647433 |
+-----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to make numbers 'human readable' in MySQL −
mysql> select format(Number, 0) AS HumanReadableFormat from DemoTable859;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------+
| HumanReadableFormat |
+---------------------+
| 747,464,646,473,737 |
| 3,836,365,366,464 |
| 8,376,437,647,433 |
+---------------------+
