BUG #: 58242 (SQLBUG_70)



SYMPTOMS
A query that results in a parallel plan generates an access violation in CQList::Append due to a timing condition between threads involved in the execution of the query.



WORKAROUND
To work around the problem:
 * Disable parallelism either for this specific query by using the OPTION (MAXDOP 1) clause.

-or-


 * Disable parallelism on the server by setting the max degree of parallelism configuration option to 1.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 7.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

For more information, contact your primary support provider.



MORE INFORMATION
Parallel queries are only considered when the cost of the query exceeds the cost threshold for parallelism configuration value, and the system has fewer active processes than the available processors.
