Description:
When we use the division function to calculate, we find that if there is a negative number type string, the result will be inconsistent with the expectation

How to repeat:
The following is the test statement that we found the problem：
SELECT select 0/-4; -- expected: 0, actual: 0 
SELECT select '0'/-4; -- expected: 0, actual: -0   

Suggested fix:
This is a problem that we have detected that is inconsistent with the expected result. We believe that 0 and '0' can be regarded as the same during type conversion, but we get two results: 0 and - 0. I don't know whether this is an exception
