BUG: SELECT with More than 125 SUM Columns Can GP Fault Server

ID: Q103748

The information in this article applies to:

NT: 446 (4.2)

SYMPTOMS

A SELECT statement with more than 125 SUM columns of INT NULL will cause SQL Server to get a general protection fault (GP fault).


   Example
   -------
   select sum(c2), sum(c3), sum(c4), ...  sum(c124), sum(c125), sum(c126)
   from t1
   group by c1

To avoid this problem, you can split the table into multiple tables and do a join, or you can do an inner join on the single table.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2.
