Code Your Way Corner Handle Divide-By-Zero Error In SQL
The idea here is that, as with any other form of math that we know of, we cannot divide by zero in a SQL call. Therefore, running this code :
if you ever tried this , result of SQL server would be :
To prevent this sort of error from being thrown, author Hugo Kornelis suggests using a NULLIF() in the divisor of the equation. NULLIF() takes two arguments and returns NULL if the two values are the same and can be used to turn the divisor from a zero into a NULL which, in turn, will force the entire equation to become NULL.
Therefore, while we try running modified query (as above) , we would end up getting Null Object , which reduces the risk of handling divide by zero :
NULLIF(0,0) returns NULL since zero is equal to zero , which makes SQL statement to return NULL . Till this point its pointless example since both zero values are hard coded .
But imagine if in case it was a user-centered value , or a SQL aggregate or any other calculated value it would be of great help in handling error.
What if we want a default value when there is NULL ? It's just simple . Just use another inbuilt function like ISNULL() or COALESCE() . Query and Result would look like :
Explanation :
We are performing division in inner-query , but then if it returns NULL , then ISNULL() function would catch it and return Zero as default value .
This would be handy for those who runs tons of reports on DB table.

It is not the first test both teams are involved in a day and night tset match. Gabba has been a lucky mascot for the hosts. It been 28 years since kangaroos have lost a test match at Gabba.
Pakistan
Mohammed Amir has been very unfortunate since his comeback. Most of the catches dropped are of his bowling. Misbah ul Haq is expected to announce retirement to post the series. Pakistan recently drawn a series in England against England. No one can doubt the credentials of Pakistani Bowling, But do they have the batting to compete Aussies. Azar Ali is not expected to play the test match. They have recently won a series against West Indies as well. They have undoubtedly got the best spinner among both the teams. Wahab Riaz can be threatening on Australian tracks..
Australia
Australia has tasted a defeat in their last test series, Which was played against South Africa. But they have won a three match ODI series against New Zealand after the loss. Australian batting is highly reliant on Top 4. Their middle order is vulnerable to quality bowling. Jackson bird might play the first test. Nic Madison is also expected to be a part of playing side. Smith is in outstanding form.Mitchell stark will lead the pace attack with Josh Hazelwood, who has increased his pace in recent times.
Crictime Prediction
Australia to win the series
Misbah to top score in Pakistan batting order
