Bug #:50000570 (SQL Hotfix)



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
 * Information about whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
 * Information about whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
When you call the IRowsetFastLoad::Commit method of the Microsoft SQL Native Client OLE DB provider (SQLNCLI) in a Microsoft SQL Server 2005-based application, the SQL Native Client OLE DB provider (SQLNCLI) leaks memory. This problem occurs if the IRowsetFastLoad::Commit method has the FALSE value.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because only the most recently allocated memory is freed when you call the IRowsetFastLoad::Commit method that has the FALSE value.
