FIX: Access Violation Selecting Linked Table

• Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

A select query using a linked server may generate an access violation if the following conditions are met:

• The select is performed on a primary server, but references a table on a linked server.



• The table on the linked server has a composite primary key.



• The primary key contains a column whose name is a truncated version of another column name (for example, one column is named abc and another is named a).



• In the primary key definition, the column with the full name precedes the column with the truncated name.
