The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, versions 6.5 and 6.5 Service Pack 1

BUG #: 16071 (NT: 6.5)

SYMPTOMS

A view that involves a UNION of two simple SELECT operations may cause an access violation (AV) when selected from, if one of the operands involves a SELECT with a NOT IN condition, as shown below:

   select x from tbl1
   union
   select x from tbl2 where x not in (select x from tbl1)

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, avoid using NOT IN with a subquery.
