BUG #: 18544 (SQLBUG_65)
SYMPTOMS
Using the sp_cursoropen stored procedure with any cursor type causes a handled access violation (AV) on the initial execution after loading a database.
If a trace flag 7502 is enabled, SQL Server returns error 225 to the client:
After the AV occurs, an attempt to load the database again gives the message "database in use." A look at sysprocesses shows no associated spids.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, try to execute the stored procedure again. At the second and later execution, the problem does not occur.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in the Post Service Pack 5a Update for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. To install the Post Service Pack 5a Update, you must have either SQL Server 6.5 SP5 or SP5a installed.
For information about how to download and install the SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5a, refer to the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
