When you run a query against a linked server in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you may receive the following access violation error message:

&quot;SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 52 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process. &quot;

Additionally, an error message that resembles the following may be logged in the error log:

This problem occurs when you run a query that executes an INSERT statement. The INSERT statement is executed on a view that is defined on a table. The table is stored on a remote instance of SQL Server 2005.
