Last reviewed: April 28, 1997
Article ID: Q98865

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, version 4.2

BUG# 8600 (4.2)

SYMPTOMS

SQL Administrator for Windows will general protection fault (GP fault) if the user attempts to open a SQL script file larger than 100 kilobytes (K) in the query window.

WORKAROUND

Users should not attempt to process SQL script files larger than 64K in the SQL Administrator for Windows query window. SQL Administrator will truncate the start of the script to reduce its size down to 64K. Scripts large than 64K should be broken into several scripts smaller than 64K, or processed with isql.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 4.2a. This problem no longer occurs in SQL Server for Windows NT version 4.21a.
