FIX: A Derived Table in the Group By Clause Causes Handled AV

Last reviewed: April 9, 1997
Article ID: Q158806

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.5

BUG #: 15855 (6.50)

SYMPTOMS

A SELECT statement using a derived table in the Group By clause may cause a handled access violation (AV). In addition, the access violation's stack dump may go into a state where it continuously writes the stack to the errorlog. If this occurs, the errorlog will grow very quickly.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do not use derived tables in the Group By clause.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.50. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
