Article ID: Q158269

6.50 The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5 Service Pack 1

BUG #: 16035

SYMPTOMS

When you select from a view with an aggregate subquery using an ANSI style outer join, you receive an access violation error message.

For example, the following view will cause this behavior:

   Create view testview as
   select titles.title_id, totalcount = (select count(*) from titles) from
      titles
   Left Outer Join titleauthor On titles.title_id = titleauthor.title_id

WORKAROUND

Replace Left Outer Join with "*=" to avoid the access violation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5 Service Pack 1. 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.
