The ULSHIFT function in H2 database is used to perform a logical left shift on a given value.

2. Syntax​

The syntax for the ULSHIFT function in H2 database is as follows:

ULSHIFT(value, shift)

Arguments​

  • value: The value to be shifted. It should be an integer or a binary value.
  • shift: The number of positions to shift the bits. It should be an integer.

Return​

  • The ULSHIFT function returns the result of the logical left shift operation on the given value.

3. Notes​

  • The ULSHIFT function in H2 database performs a logical left shift, which means the bits are shifted to the left and the vacant positions are filled with zeros.
  • If the value is negative or exceeds the bit length, the ULSHIFT function will return NULL.
  • Ensure that the value and shift arguments are of compatible types to avoid errors.

4. Examples​

Here are a few examples demonstrating the usage of the ULSHIFT function in H2 database:

Example 1 - Performing a logical left shift on an integer value:​

SELECT ULSHIFT(5, 2) AS result;

Output:

result
------
20

Example 2 - Performing a logical left shift on a binary value:​

SELECT ULSHIFT(X'0A', 3) AS result;

Output:

result
------
80

Example 3 - Performing a logical left shift on a column value:​

CREATE TABLE shift_values (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  value INT,
  shift INT
);

INSERT INTO shift_values VALUES (1, 10, 2), (2, 7, 1), (3, 15, 3);

SELECT id, value, shift, ULSHIFT(value, shift) AS result
FROM shift_values;

Output:

id | value | shift | result
---+-------+-------+-------
1  | 10    | 2     | 40
2  | 7     | 1     | 14
3  | 15    | 3     | 120
