FROM table_name;

• Here ‘n’ is the power to raise e up to.

Example 1: Using Oracle SQL EXP Function with SQL SELECT Statement

SELECT EXP(1)
FROM DUAL; 

The above SQL SELECT example of EXP() Function will return “2.71828182845905” as e*1 = 2.71828182845905

Example 2: Using Oracle SQL EXP Function with SQL SELECT Statement

SELECT EXP(2)
FROM DUAL; 

The above SQL SELECT example of EXP() Function will return “7.38905609893065” as e*e = 7.38905609893065

Example 3: Using Oracle SQL EXP Function with SQL SELECT Statement

SELECT EXP(-2)
FROM DUAL; 

The above SQL SELECT example of EXP() Function will return “0.135335283236613” as 1/(e*e) = 0.135335283236613

Example 4: Using Oracle SQL EXP Function with SQL SELECT Statement
