BUG #: 16383 (6.5)



SYMPTOMS
You may receive a thread level access violation (AV) when you use the DECLARE CURSOR statement. This error occurs if both of the following conditions are true:


 * The cursor's select statement has an order by and operates against a view that is defined to use at least two tables.

-and-
 * Each table used by the view has a compound unique index.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, try changing the cursor type by adding the keywords SCROLL or INSENSITIVE to the DECLARE CURSOR statement.



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.
