FIX: Syntax Error in SELECT List May Cause Handled AV

Last reviewed: April 8, 1997
Article ID: Q152615

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, versions 6.0 and 6.5

BUG#: 15027 (6.0)

SYMPTOMS

The absence of a comma between columns in the SELECT list may cause a handled AV under some narrow circumstances.

CAUSE

The parser incorrectly perceives that an alias is intended. A reference to the object later in the SELECT query, usually in a GROUP BY or ORDER BY clause triggers the parser confusion.

WORKAROUND

Add the comma to the SELECT 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.
