Arithabort side affects

i recently needed to add an index to a computed column. I know its risky and that the side affects can be quite a pain (the cursorlocation on an adodb recordset setting caught me out for a start!) but i am struggling with scheduled jobs.
Stored procedures that are called from my applications have either been altered to have the required quoted_identifier and/or arithabort settings changed to comply with the new index, or tha app itself calls the set statement on the connection object just prior to the call to the sproc and this seems to work OK, but any sheduled job that references the table will not execute, even a one line exec sproc statement will not execute. It happily runs in QA, but never runs as part of a job because of the arithabort settings. I've tried changing them in the sproc, deleting and re-creating the sproc, i've added them as statements as part of the job step just before the call to the sproc and nothing lets the job execute. What do I do now as i need these jobs to run and i do not want to havre to remove the index.

DaveAlter database test
set arithabort on

This works, ie the scheduled jobs will now run. Can i expect anything untoward to jump out of the closet now with this change at the database level?

This will only tell you if the option is on at the db level, and the db

practically worthless. As Tibor suggested, you can use DBCC USEROPTIONS to

ARITHABORT error when update from asp page

Hi all,
I get the following error when I try to update the table from asp page:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E14)
UPDATE failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings:
'ARITHABORT'
I try the same update statement in query analyzer and it works fine. The
update command is very simple: update tableA set columnA='something' where
columnID=1
when I use SET ARITHABORT OFF in query analyzer, it fails. So I thought if I
use SET ARITHABORT ON, it would be OK again; but it doesn't work anymore.
The only thing I can get it work again in query analyzer is to close it and
re-open it.
Please help me so I can get the update statement work in asp page. Thanks
very much.VNN wrote:

You should really use parameters instead of trying to construct a
dynamic query like this. Check out this page for a good reference on how
to do it.

arithabort default

Does anyone know why arithabort is defaulted to OFF in SQL Server?Chavi (chavi.tyberg@.gmail.com) writes:
> Does anyone know why arithabort is defaulted to OFF in SQL Server?
Probably legacy. All SET options were OFF from the beginning. Then with
SQL 7, they started to have all ANSI options on, except
IMPLCITI_TRANSACTIONS and CURSOR_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT. ARITHABORT is not an
ANSI_OPTION.
The good news is that in SQL 2005, there is no longer any requirement
for ARITHABORT to be on for indexed views and that. The one thing
not covered by ANSI_WARNINGS in SQL 2000 is now covered in SQL 2005.
(That thing is the check for domain errors, as in sqrt(-1).)

ARITHABORT and Indexed Views

I've just implemented indexed views to increase the performance of one of my
stored procedures. However,
it turns out that you cannot insert into a table that is referenced by an
index view unless the ARITHABORT is set to ON.
You cannot set it to ON inside the procedure. (see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=305333).
The recommendation from Microsoft is to turn this on from the
application. -- Unfortunately, I don't have control over that. I did find a
solution: "ALTER DATABASE nwind SET ARITHABORT ON".
I'm a little hesitant to use this in production, as many apps use this
particular database. Does anybody know of any potential gotchas? It seems
to me that if my apps were generating divide-by-zero or overflow errors,
they wouldn't be working anyway.The chances of this causing a problem are pretty slim but you should try it
on a backup copy of the database to make sure there aren't some unforeseen
issues.

ArithAbort and ArithIgnore Options

Hi,

I was recently experiencing a slowness when executing stored procedures from a .NET Application, but it went fast when executing from Query Analyzer. Research led me to find that by turning ArithAbort ON that it forces the SQL Server to use the same Execution plan whether the request is coming from Query Analyzer or the Application.

My concern now is the effect of ArithAbort. I understand what turning this option does, but I am trying to think of a scenario where turning it on could be bad. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be aware of when disabling/enabling ArithAbort or ArithIgnore?

Thanks.

-Brian

The rules have changed in SQL Server 2005 the links below explains in detail. Hope this helps.

ARITHABORT

I have problem with indexed view:
SELECT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings:
'ARITHABORT'
When insert, also some other options could affects.
I can't change the server properties for all required options because it
affects also other databases which are not mine.
Is there any way to set this option for my connection?
Maybe on SQL or on ado object?
I don't won't to put in each procedure and view the following statement:
SET
ARITHABORT,ANSI_NULLS,ANSI_PADDING,ANSI_
WARNINGS,CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL,QUO
TED_IDENTIFIERS
ON
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
Regards,SimonYou can set some of these as default options per database (ALTER DATABASE).
But many of those are
largely useless, as many APIs (mostly the modern APIs) will override the ser
ver/database setting
anyhow. So you can set these setting when you connect from your app. But if
you use connection
pooling, these settings will be reset anyhow when a connection is re-used (G
oogle for
sp_reset_connection). It is possible that your API has option to set these s
ettings, but we'd need
to know what API you are using to tell that (or, rather, search the document
ation for the API).

ARITHABORT

Help!!!
When attempting an insert to a table in SQL I get a message indicating that
the ARITHABORT setting is incorrect. Running (select databasepropertyex db,
'isarithabortenabled') returns null.
Running (alter database 'db' set arithabort off) doesn't change the setting.
I've tried setting it on and off, but the check always returns NULL.
Isn't there someway to set this value to 0 directly?
If anyone can help me I'd truly appreciate it. The table affected is the
primary table in the database and therefore, my db system is DOWN and
inoperable!!
Thanks.
