MORE INFORMATION Users may encounter FLT_UNDERFLOW_EXCEPTION errors or other
floating point exceptions unexpectedly even with queries that do not appear to
involve a floating point operation. In some cases, the server may stop
responding (hang).
Floating point exception notification is enabled
as part of detecting floating point errors when the server operates on floating
point numbers. This notification is not configurable by the user.
