BUG #: 16457



SYMPTOMS
A select statement that does a full outer join on the same table may cause a handled access violation (AV). For this problem to occur, the following conditions must be true:


 * The select statement does a full outer join on the same table.
 * An ORDER BY clause is also included.
 * The query causes a REFORMAT to occur.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do any of the following:


 * Remove the ORDER BY clause.
 * Use another sorting method.
 * Change some indexes on your table to avoid the REFORMAT condition.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
