Comment (by felixxm):

 I'm not sure if it's worth adding extra database functions:

 -  `Log2` and `Log10` can be achieved with proving base to `Log` so I'm
 against them,
 - hyperbolic functions are supported only on PostgreSQL 12+, we need to
 emulate them on other DBs, it's not worth, IMO,
 - `BitLength` and `OctetLength` will probably not work on Oracle.


 `Truncate` and `Round` sound reasonable.
