In SQL Server when you divide by 0 you get an error.
0 divided by a number works just fine.
Back to the topic; handling divide by 0 is typically performed using CASE
--declare a table DECLARE @t TABLE (c1 int, c2 int); --insert some test data INSERT INTO @t (c1, c2) VALUES (0,2); INSERT INTO @t (c1, c2) VALUES (2,0); --view the table SELECT * FROM @t; --handle a divide SELECT CASE WHEN c2 = 0 THEN 0 ELSE c1/c2 END AS result FROM @t;
