FIX: UPDATE May Fail With Error 107

Last reviewed: April 8, 1997
Article ID: Q150900

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.5

BUG#: 14984 (6.50)

SYMPTOMS

An UPDATE using a JOIN may fail with error 107 that is not correct:

   Msg 107, Level 15, State 1
   The column prefix 'so' does not match with a table name or alias name
   used in the query.

CAUSE

If using the 204 trace flag for backwards compatibility, UPDATEs using JOINs will fail with this error. This error does not occur on SQL Server 6.0 with the same query.

WORKAROUND

Turn off the 204 trace flag or rewrite the JOIN as a subquery.

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 1 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
