Summary: SQL: div by zero results in ascii art

Initial Comment:
The astronomers paper inspired me to try a division by
zero in SQL:

sql>select 1/0;
# sql_div_single_value # name
# decimal # type
# 1 # tuplecount
# 0 # id
[ --.)*(        ]

whereas mil just gives a nil result (which is more
correct).

Message:
re-opened as the test fails since checkins on Thursday Aug 06 2009:
the (IMHO) expected division by zero error is gone; instead, a NULL seems
to be returned without comment;

Is this a bug or a hidden feature? the )*( could be a butter
fly, but I can't seem to figure out what the rest means.  A
hidden message from Niels that you shouldn't try to divide
by zero?
