There is an important difference between floor() and DIV 1. For negative numbers, they behave differently. DIV 1 returns the integer part (as cast as signed does), while floor(x) returns "the largest integer value not greater than x" (from the manual). So : select floor(-1.1) results in -2, while select -1.1 div 1 results in -1
