Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 fixes as one file that you can download. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that are included with the previous SQL Server 2000 fix release.



SYMPTOMS
If a distributed transaction is opened, and a remote procedure call in that transaction fails and rolls back, later changes that are made at the local server in the scope of the distributed transaction may successfully commit although the changes should have rolled back.

MORE INFORMATION
The following remote stored procedure fails with a &quot;divide-by-zero&quot; error message: CREATE PROCEDURE p_TESTNAME_STATEMENTABORT AS   BEGIN SELECT 1/0 END When you execute this stored procedure remotely in a distributed transaction, later operations may succeed, although the error in the remote procedure should roll back the whole distributed transaction: BEGIN distributed TRAN EXEC [cmathews10\sql2ksp3].master.dbo.p_TESTNAME_STATEMENTABORT SELECT @@error COMMIT TRAN go

Server: Msg 8134, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 Divide by zero error encountered. The transaction active in this session has been committed or aborted by another session. --- 8134
