Note Because of file dependencies, the most recent hotfix or feature that contains these files may also contain additional files.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, run the DELETE statement by using a query hint to use a hash join as the join strategy of the query. To do this, include the OPTION (HASH JOIN) clause in the query, and then run the query.
For more information about using the OPTION clause to specify a join strategy, see the "OPTION clause" section in the following MSDN Web site:
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
This problem was first corrected in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4.
