Numeric Functions

DIV0¶

Performs division like the division operator (/), but returns 0 when the divisor is 0 (rather than reporting an error).

See also:

DIV0NULL

Syntax¶

DIV0( <dividend> , <divisor> )
Copy

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 |
