Bug #: 424123 (SQLBUDT)



SYMPTOMS
When you start the SQL Server service in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the SQL Server service shuts down unexpectedly. An assertion error is logged in the CXteIndexSort::CXteIndexSort function in the SQL Server error log file.

Machine :

Product : SQL Server Database Services

Error : The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, &quot;How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files&quot; and &quot;Starting SQL Server Manually.&quot;
