BUG #: 16833 (6.5)
SYMPTOMS
Optimizing a query may cause a handled access violation (AV) that stops the clients thread on the server if all of the following conditions are true:
- The query contains the same table more than once.
- The query does an ANSI Full Outer Join with one of the instances of the duplicated table.
- The second instance of the table is joined to another table without the ANSI Join syntax.
- There is no join condition between the instances of the table.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, rewrite the query:
- Create a join condition between the two or more instances of the table.
- Remove one of the instances of the table from the query.
- Change the ANSI join to either a Left or Right Outer Join.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
