SYMPTOMS
If you try to run a SELECT query or you try to create an index on a heap (a table that does not have a clustered index), the SELECT query or the creation of the index may not complete. This problem occurs when the total number of rows that are modified in the heap since the last time statistics were updated for the heap is more than 2,147,483,647.
