SELECT Dividend / ISNULL(NULLIF(Divisor,0), 1) AS Result from table

通过使用nullif()捕获零，然后使用isnull()捕获结果为零，可以避免除零错误。

在这种情况下，你可以除以0。商业规则是计算库存周转，你用一段时间内的销售成本，按年计算。在你得到年化数字之后，你要除以该时期的平均库存。

I'm looking at calculating the number of inventory turns that occur in a three month period. I have calculated that I have Cost of Goods sold during the three month period of $1,000. The annual rate of sales is $4,000 ($1,000/3)*12. The beginning inventory is 0. The ending inventory is 0. My average inventory is now 0. I have sales of $4000 per year, and no inventory. This yields an infinite number of turns. This means that all my inventory is being converted and purchased by customers.

这是关于如何计算库存周转的业务规则。

我是这样解决的:

IIF(ValueA != 0, Total / ValueA, 0)

它可以被包装在一个更新中:

SET Pct = IIF(ValueA != 0, Total / ValueA, 0)

或者在选择中:

SELECT IIF(ValueA != 0, Total / ValueA, 0) AS Pct FROM Tablename;

想法吗?

你也可以在查询的开头这样做:

SET ARITHABORT OFF 
SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF

如果你有100/0，它会返回NULL。我只做了简单的查询，所以我不知道它会如何影响更长的/复杂的查询。

当错误传播回调用程序时，可以适当地处理它(如果需要，可以忽略它)。在c#中，SQL中发生的任何错误都会抛出一个异常，我可以捕获并在我的代码中处理，就像任何其他错误一样。

I agree with Beska in that you do not want to hide the error. You may not be dealing with a nuclear reactor but hiding errors in general is bad programming practice. This is one of the reasons most modern programming languages implement structured exception handling to decouple the actual return value with an error / status code. This is especially true when you are doing math. The biggest problem is that you cannot distinguish between a correctly computed 0 being returned or a 0 as the result of an error. Instead any value returned is the computed value and if anything goes wrong an exception is thrown. This will of course differ depending on how you are accessing the database and what language you are using but you should always be able to get an error message that you can deal with.

try
{
    Database.ComputePercentage();
}
catch (SqlException e)
{
    // now you can handle the exception or at least log that the exception was thrown if you choose not to handle it
    // Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Divide by zero error encountered.
}

这似乎是解决我的情况的最佳方法，当我试图解决除零的问题时，这种情况确实发生在我的数据中。

假设您想要计算各个学校俱乐部的男女比例，但是您发现下面的查询失败了，并且在试图计算指环王俱乐部的比例时出现了一个除零的错误，因为指环王俱乐部没有女性:

SELECT club_id, males, females, males/females AS ratio
  FROM school_clubs;

可以使用NULLIF函数来避免除零。NULLIF比较两个表达式，如果相等则返回null，否则返回第一个表达式。

将查询重写为:

SELECT club_id, males, females, males/NULLIF(females, 0) AS ratio
  FROM school_clubs;

任何数字除以NULL都会得到NULL，并且不会产生错误。
