BUG: Inconsistent Behavior with Global Temporary Tables

ID: Q148219

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0

BUG# NT: 13490 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

Global temporary tables exhibit inconsistent IF EXISTS behavior from multiple connections. The conditional check for table (with IF EXISTS) may return FALSE even if the global temp table exists. Create table statements executed after this will return the following error message:

Msg 2714, Level 16, State 1
There is already an object named '##tablename' in the database.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
