DIV0¶

Syntax¶

DIV0( <dividend> , <divisor> )

Arguments¶

dividend

Numeric expression that evaluates to the value that you want to divide.

divisor

Numeric expression that evaluates to the value that you want to divide by.

Returns¶

The quotient. If the divisor is 0, the function returns 0.

Examples¶

As shown in the following example, the DIV0 function performs division like the division operator (/):

SELECT 1/2;
+----------+                                                                    
|      1/2 |
|----------|
| 0.500000 |
+----------+
SELECT DIV0(1, 2);
+------------+                                                                  
| DIV0(1, 2) |
|------------|
|   0.500000 |
+------------+

Copy

Unlike the division operator, DIV0 returns a 0 (rather than reporting an error) when the divisor is 0.

select 1/0;
100051 (22012): Division by zero

Copy

SELECT DIV0(1, 0);
+------------+                                                                  
| DIV0(1, 0) |
|------------|
|   0.000000 |
+------------+
