Bug #: 50000158 (SQL Hotfix)

Bug #: 874 (SQL Hotfix)

Bug #: 449866 (SQLBUDT)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by this hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for applying this hotfix package
 * Information about whether you must restart the computer after you apply this hotfix package
 * Information about whether this hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Information about whether you must make any registry changes after you apply this hotfix package
 * The files that are contained in this hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * In a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) based application, you use Microsoft OLE DB for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) to connect to an SSAS server.
 * You use a range rowset in the application to iterate through rows that are returned by running a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query on a cube.

In this scenario, you may notice that the rows that contain a Null value return error 0x80004005(E_FAIL).

For example, when you use the OLE DB sample application Rowset Viewer (RowsetViewer.exe) to run such an MDX query, you receive an error message resembles the following:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 2005

---

Source: &quot;Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 2005&quot;

Interface: IID_ICommand Result: 0x80004005 = E_FAIL

IErrorInfo: [0xc10e0002] &quot;Query (1, 15) Parser: The syntax for 'from' is incorrect.&quot; File:

F:\Depot\SQLVault\mdac28sdk\Samples\oledb\rowsetviewer\SDK\obj\i386\CSession.cpp Line: 235

---

OK

Note This problem does not occur when you query data from a cube in SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services.
