FIX: INT Divide by Zero Exception Error When Running a Query

 Last reviewed: June 27, 1997
Article ID: Q165754
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.5 Service Pack 2
BUG #: 16455 (Windows NT: 6.5)

SYMPTOMS

An INT divide by zero exception error occurs when you run a query joining tables with wide rows. The scenario that reproduced this bug was a select with a join between a very wide table (2,698 bytes row length) and a view with one where clause. The handled exception error stops the query.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5 Service Pack 2. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.

MORE INFORMATION

The following query caused the access violation: 

   select   pr.*,p.*
   from  tblprospects pr, tblprospectsdetail p
   where pr.prospect_key=(select min(p2.prospect_key) from tblprospects p2)
      and pr.prospect_key=p.prospect_key
You can usually avoid the exception error by reducing the select list or the where conditions.
