BUG #: 15780 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
Running an INSERT-SELECT statement without a FROM clause (such as 'INSERT INTO TABLE SELECT * WHERE 1=2') may cause SQL Server to stop responding. No more connections can be made, existing connections time out, and no error messages are presented in SQL Server the errorlog. SQL Server cannot be shut down from either Service Manager or Control Panel.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add a FROM clause to the query.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
