BUG #: 7000 (SSCE)



SYMPTOMS
An attempt to run a query that contains an explicit or an implicit DISTINCT operation in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition 2.0 may cause an access violation or an assertion error, or may cause the program to stop responding. Any query that uses an IN operator, a UNION operator, or a GROUP BY clause implies a DISTINCT operation. Here is an example of the assertion error that you may see:

Assertion Failure: Rel. 4.993.0, File qp-record.h, Line 53 i < m_cValues PID: 2468, TID: 2704

This problem does not occur in earlier versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition.
