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, use the FORCE ORDER query hint to force the join order. However, if you force the join order, the query optimizer may not generate the optimal query plan, and you may experience slow query performance.
For more information about how to use the FORCE ORDER query hint, see the "OPTION Clause" topic in SQL Server Books Online.
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.
