Last reviewed: April 8, 1997
Article ID: Q151111

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, versions 6.0 & 6.5

BUG#: 15086 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

A DECLARE CURSOR statement that has a FOR UPDATE clause with multiple columns in the column_list can generate a handled access violation if the table in the SELECT clause is a temporary table.

WORKAROUND

Do not use the FOR UPDATE clause for more than one column in case of a temporary table. Use a permanent table if more than one column is absolutely necessary in the FOR UPDATE clause.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 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.
