When I run my .net app connected to SQL Server 2000, I get the error “invalid Floating Point Operation”. I did search for the error cause http://fugato.net/2005/02/08/sql-server-nastiness found this link which says there may be Bogus Data in one of the columns.
I have a backup from a month old data, when I connect to the old database it works fine.
How do I filter out the bogus data in the table?
One method might be to use a cursor to perform the problematic operation row by row printing id’s as you go along, when the error occurs you can refer to the printed id’s to see which row contains the erroneous data.
There is probably a better way however, this is just what came to mind!
