Notice
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
- The issues that are fixed by this hotfix package
- The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
- Information about whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
- Information about whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
- Information about whether you must make any registry changes
- The files that are contained in the hotfix package
SYMPTOMS
In SQL Server 2005, when you retrieve values from a fixed-size character column or a fixed-size binary column of a table, you notice additional random trailing characters in the values.
This problem occurs when all the following conditions are true:
- The table is populated with the values in the connection context that has the ANSI_PADDING setting set to OFF.
- The values with which the table is populated are returned by an ISNULL function from a SELECT statement. The SELECT statement has the following characteristics:
- The SELECT statement has an INTO clause that creates the table. Additionally, the table is created in a connection context that has the ANSI_PADDING setting set to OFF.
- The SELECT statement has an OUTER JOIN of
TableB
andTableC
on their fixed-size binary columns or fixed-size character columns. - The fixed-size binary column or fixed-size character column values of either
TableB
orTableC
that contain one or more NULL values are passed to the first parameter of the ISNULL function. - The table column that is passed to the first parameter of the ISNULL function is nonnullalble.
- The second parameter of the ISNULL function is a constant value. The constant value has the smaller length than the fixed-size character column length or the fixed-size binary column length of the table in which you experience this problem.
Note TableB
and TableC
are used in this section to differentiate from the table in which you experience the problem.
