  • RE: why is this option "set arithabort off" causing an issue?

    Your code isn't complete. There are no calculations taking place in what you posted. Arithabort causes transactions/batches to fail if they violate data type rules on arithmetic operations....

    Cool biz.

    If you can post any of the code here, we can probably help with the refactoring and performance issues.
