Table 1. BIN_OR Function Parameters
Parameter Description

number

A number of an integer type

Returns the result of the bitwise OR operation on the argument(s).

BIN_SHL()

Bitwise left-shift

Result type

BIGINT or INT128 depending on the first argument

Syntax
BIN_SHL (number, shift)
Table 1. BIN_SHL Function Parameters
