### description
#### Syntax

```sql
DATETIME TIME_ROUND(DATETIME expr)
DATETIME TIME_ROUND(DATETIME expr, INT period)
DATETIME TIME_ROUND(DATETIME expr, DATETIME origin)
DATETIME TIME_ROUND(DATETIME expr, INT period, DATETIME origin)
```

The function name `TIME_ROUND` consists of two parts, Each part consists of the following optional values.
- `TIME`: `SECOND`, `MINUTE`, `HOUR`, `DAY`, `WEEK`, `MONTH`, `YEAR`
- `ROUND`: `FLOOR`, `CEIL`

Returns the upper/lower bound of `expr`.

- `period` specifies how many `TIME` units, the default is `1`.
- `origin` specifies the start time of the period, the default is `1970-01-01T00:00:00`, the start time of `WEEK` is Sunday, which is `1970-01-04T00:00:00`. Could be larger than `expr`.
- Please try to choose common `period`, such as 3 `MONTH`, 90 `MINUTE`. If you set a uncommon `period`, please also specify `origin`.
