Bug #: 50001323 (SQL Hotfix)

Bug #: 503659 (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 the hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
 * Whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
 * Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Whether you must make any registry changes
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. You use the association algorithms to build a data mining model on a set of data. You expect the data mining model to contain some rules. In this scenario, the data mining model contains only one rule.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The build of SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services is later than 3165.
 * The build of SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services is earlier than 3175.
 * The number of rules that the association algorithms detect is less than the number of items divided by four. For example, the set of data contains 20 items. The association algorithms detect three rules. In this example, this condition is true.
