IS_FINITE

Returns TRUE if the argument is finite, and FALSE otherwise. Only REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION types can represent infinity in Firebolt, meaning that IS_FINITE will always return TRUE for NUMERIC inputs.

Syntax 

IS_FINITE(<value>);

Parameters

Parameter Description Supported input types
<value> The input that will be checked to determine if it is a finite number. NUMERIC, DOUBLE PRECISION, REAL

Return Type

IS_FINITE returns a value of type BOOLEAN.

Examples

The following example checks whether the value inf, after being cast to a DOUBLE PRECISION data type, is a finite number:
