SYMPTOMS

When you run a SELECT statement that contains ORDER BY "DAV:href", you may receive the following run time error message:

'80040e31'
Execution stopped because a resource limit was reached. No results were returned.

CAUSE

Sorting by "DAV:href" is not supported currently because it is a non-indexed column.
