FIX: Unhandled Access Violation with Temporary Procedure

 Last reviewed: April 8, 1997
Article ID: Q153079
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server, versions 4.2x, 6.0 and 6.5

SYMPTOMS

When a temporary stored procedure is created and executed within a user- defined transaction and the client (DBLIB or ODBC) disconnects without either committing or rolling back the transaction, SQL Server stops running. The SQL Service manager shows a red light.

An attempt to kill the process that initiated the transaction also causes an Unhandled Access Violation error.

WORKAROUND

Use a permanent stored procedure instead of a temporary stored procedure within a transaction.

You can also commit or roll back the transaction before the client disconnects.

MORE INFORMATION

The SQL Server errorlog (under SQL..\LOG directory on the server) would look like:
