SQL Server 2000 vs LOG and SQRT

If you attempt to take the LOG or SQRT of a negative number in SQL Server 2000, it fails quietly but catastrophically.  Should a query attempt to perform one of these operations, the result set is empty -- all rows are discarded.  No error is reported, neither to the client nor in the SQL Server logs.

Quick Highlighter is an on-line service that can generate pretty looking output for code in many languages.  My favourite feature of this service is that it hyperlinks built-in constructs to their reference pages -- especially for less popular languages like Haskell.
