BUG #18266 (SQLBUG_65)

SYMPTOMS

If a view created with the 'WITH CHECK OPTION' has a correlated subquery, any attempts to update or insert into this view produces error 550:

Msg 550, Level 16, State 2 The attempted insert or update failed because the target view either specifies WITH CHECK OPTION or spans a view which specifies WITH CHECK OPTION and one or more rows resulting from the operation did not qualify under the CHECK OPTION constraint. Command has been aborted

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, either avoid using a correlated subquery within a view created with the 'WITH CHECK OPTION', or convert the subquery into an equivalent join form.
