Bug #: 50001012 (SQL Hotfix)



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2), the following tasks in a maintenance plan may lose database context in certain circumstances:
 * Check Database Integrity
 * Execute T-SQL Statement

For example, if a Check Database Integrity task is configured to check integrity on multiple databases, the task repeatedly checks the default database.

For the Execute T-SQL Statement task, this problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The Execute T-SQL Statement task contains multiple batches.
 * The batches are separated by the GO statement.
 * No batches use the USE statement to specify the database.
 * The statements in each batch do not contain the database name.

In this scenario, those statements in the second batch and in succeeding batches will be executed against the default database.

Note You can confirm that this problem has occurred by using SQL Server Profiler. When you trace the maintenance plan execution, see the Database column in SQL Server Profiler.



RESOLUTION
This problem occurs in SQL Server 2005 builds 3042 through 3053 and in SQL Server 2005 builds 3150 through 3158. If you are running a build of SQL Server 2005 SP2 between 3042 and 3053, download and install the following file from the Microsoft Download Center.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
In the original release version of SQL Server 2005 SP2 and earlier versions, commands that are related to maintenance plan tasks are accumulated and then executed at the same time. When an error occurs, tasks are no longer executed, and the remaining maintenance tasks are not performed. In SQL Server 2005 SP2, individual batches are submitted one at a time. In the original release version of SQL Server 2005 SP2, the database connection was reset between batches. Later batches were left in the context of the default database instead of in the context that was present before the GO statement was executed. The tasks that were affected depended on the context that was present before the GO statement was executed, specifically the Check Database Integrity task and the Execute T-SQL Statement task.
