Q138013

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0

-

BUG# NT: 11497 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS
The command DBCC SQLPERF(THREADS) on SQL Server version 6.0 Service Pack 1 fails with the error:

DBCC function 'threads' in the library 'sqlper60' generated access

violation; SQL Server is terminating process 

The client connection that executed this command is terminated, but other client connections are unaffected. The client may see the access violation error listed above, or encounter DB-Library errors 10037, "Unexpected EOF from SQL Server," or 10008, "Bad Token from SQL Server: Datastream processing out of synchronization."

This problem does not exist in SQL Server 6.0 without Service Pack 1 applied.

WORKAROUND
Most of the information from SQLPERF(THREADS) can be found using a combination of other resources such as SQL Enterprise Manager (Current Activity), sp_who, examining the sysprocesses table, and Windows NT Performance Monitor.

For additional information about SQL Server Windows NT threads, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

"Q117559 : INF: How to Correlate Spid, Kpid, and Thread Instance"

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0 Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in Service Pack 2 for SQL Server version 6.0. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
