FIX: SELECT from Table with >223 Columns Fails with Error 230

Last reviewed: April 10, 1997
Article ID: Q153693

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

SYMPTOMS

If a table is created with greater than 223 columns, and SELECT permissions are then granted to a user or group, then a subsequent SELECT, issued by a permitted user, can result in the following message being reported for each column defined after column 223 in the table structure:

   Msg 230, Level 14, State 1
   SELECT permission denied on column <column> of object <table>,
   database <db>, owner <owner>

WORKAROUND

Consider trimming the number of tables in the columns or use aliasing or different security schemas to allow data to be seen by all users.

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