FIX: Updates to Tables w/Text on SP2 Cols May Result in Errors

 Last reviewed: June 27, 1997
Article ID: Q163128
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.5 Service Pack 2
BUG #: 16465 (Windows NT: 6.5)

SYMPTOMS

UPDATE and INSERT commands run against a table with multiple text/image columns on SQL 6.5 Service Pack 2 may appear to work correctly but may result in errors reported by DBCC CHECKTABLE.

WORKAROUND

If you encounter this problem, attempt to copy the data out of the table using SELECT..INTO, the Bulk Copy Program (BCP), or INSERT..SELECT.

To avoid this problem, use either of the following workarounds:

  • Define all text/image columns in a single table as NOT NULL.
  • Do not use more than one text/image column in a table.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
