BUG #: 18560 (SQLBUG_65)
SYMPTOMS
Running a "SELECT... INTO..." query that includes a UNION operator while trace flag 5302 is turned on can cause a handled access violation (AV) within SQL Server. When this happens, the client connection will become unresponsive.
The problem does not happen on versions of SQL Server 6.5 earlier than Service Pack 5.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- Turn off trace flag 5302. -or-
- Avoid using the UNION operator within the "SELECT... INTO..." query. One way of achieving this would be to create the table in an earlier statement and then replace the "SELECT... INTO..." statement with an "INSERT INTO... SELECT...".
