BUG #: 362962 (SHILOH_BUGS)



SYMPTOMS
A DELETE statement that includes a self-join may fail and you receive the following error message:

Error: 625, Severity: 20, State: 1

Cannot retrieve row from page (0:246) by RID because the slotid (681262616) is not valid..

When you run a DBCC CHECKDB statement on the database, after you receive the 625 error, DBCC CHECKDB does not report any errors.



CAUSE
Because the query plan does not include the operator you must have to provide Halloween protection, the query may try to fetch the row that was deleted.



WORKAROUND
To work around this error, specify OPTION (HASH JOIN) at the end of the query.
