SYMPTOMS

BUG #: 16071 (NT: 6.5)

A view that involves a UNION of two simple SELECT operations may cause an access violation (AV) when selected from, if one of the operands involves a SELECT with a NOT IN condition, as shown below:

   select x from tbl1
   union
   select x from tbl2 where x not in (select x from tbl1)
                

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, avoid using NOT IN with a subquery.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.5 and 6.5 Service Pack 1. 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.
