sTons (Function)

This converts the input given in seconds into nanoseconds.

Syntax

<DOUBLE> unitconversion:sTons(<INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE> p1)

Query Parameters

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
p1	The value that needs to be converted from seconds into nanoseconds.		INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE	No	Yes

Example 1

SELECT unitconversion:sTons(1) AS nanoseconds;

This query uses the unitconversion:sTons() function to convert the value of 1 second into its equivalent value in nanoseconds. The conversion result is 1000000000.0 nanoseconds.

Example 2

CREATE STREAM InputStream (time_s double);
CREATE SINK STREAM OutputStream (time_s double, time_ns double);

@info(name = 'timeConversionQuery')
INSERT INTO OutputStream
SELECT time_s, unitconversion:sTons(time_s) AS time_ns
FROM InputStream;

In this example, an input stream called InputStream is created with a single attribute, time_s, representing time values in seconds. Then, an output stream called OutputStream is defined, which will contain the original time in seconds as well as the converted time in nanoseconds.

The timeConversionQuery processes events from the InputStream. It uses the unitconversion:sTons() function to convert the time_s attribute from the InputStream into its corresponding value in nanoseconds, and this value is assigned to the time_ns attribute in the OutputStream.

The query outputs the original time in seconds and the converted time in nanoseconds for each event to the OutputStream.
