BUG: Access Violation After Update of a Text Column

ID: Q152797


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5


SYMPTOMS

An Update statement that modifies a text column may cause an access violation. For this to occur, a text column must be updated, and the update statement must include a cross database join as well as at least two other natural joins between two more tables from the same database.


WORKAROUND

Split the query into two queries and use an intermediate table or temporary tables to get the desired result set.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
