BUG #: 351450 (SHILOH_bugs)



SYMPTOMS
The execution of a stored procedure that includes the following statement to update a remote table over a linked server does not work correctly: UPDATE [RemoteServer].pubs.dbo.RemoteTable SET Name = @Name WHERE  MyID = @ID When the stored procedure is executed the first time, the target table is modified correctly; however, the following executions are not able to modify that table.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SQL Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

290211 INF: How to Obtain the Latest SQL Server 2000 Service Pack



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem either:   Run the stored procedure with the WITH RECOMPILE option or use the WITH RECOMPILE option when you create the stored procedure. exec usp_TestUpdate 1, 'SecondRun' with recompile -or-   Create a dynamic execution for the UPDATE statement in the stored procedure. For example: Use pubs go Create  PROCEDURE usp_TestUpdate

@ID int, @Name varchar(12) AS declare @Mylog char(10) set @Mylog = cast(@ID as char(10)) exec(&quot;UPDATE [RemoteServer].pubs.dbo.RemoteTable SET Name = '&quot; + @Name+&quot;' WHERE  MyID = &quot; + @Mylog)





STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SQL Server 2000. This problem was first corrected in SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1.



MORE INFORMATION
The following code demonstrates the problem.   Create a table named RemoteTable on a linked server and populate the table with a row: Use pubs go Create table RemoteTable (    MyID     int  primary key,      Name  varchar(12) ) go insert into RemoteTable values(1,'abc')   Create a stored procedure on the local server that contains an UPDATE statement to a table created on the linked server: Use pubs go Create  PROCEDURE usp_TestUpdate

@ID int, @Name varchar(12) AS

UPDATE [RemoteServer].pubs.dbo.RemoteTable SET Name = @Name WHERE  MyID = @ID </li>  Run the stored procedure: exec usp_TestUpdate 1, 'firstRun' go select * from remoteserver.pubs.dbo.RemoteTable The result is: <pre class="fixed_text">Output

=
MyID       Name 1      firstRun Run the stored procedure again: exec usp_TestUpdate 1, 'SecondRun' go select * from remoteserver.pubs.dbo.RemoteTable This time the result is: <pre class="fixed_text">Output

=
MyID       Name 1      firstRun </li></ol>
