BUG #: 16361 (Windows NT: 6.5)
SYMPTOMS
You may receive a handled access violation (AV) when you attempt to select
from a view that was created with a DISTINCT clause, and there is a natural
JOIN between base tables inside a stored procedure.
When the access violation occurs, you may find the following error message
in the SQL Server errorlog:
spid10 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION raised, attempting to create symptom
dump kernel The current contents of process' input buffer are 'exec
myproc'
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, place the SELECT statement of the stored
procedure inside an EXEC() statement.
For example, if the SELECT against the view was the following:
select * from view
Change the statement to:
exec("select * from view")
Otherwise, move the query outside of the stored procedure, or avoid using
the DISTINCT keyword in the view definition.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
version 6.5 Service Pack 1 and 2. This problem has been corrected in U.S.
Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information,
contact your primary support provider.
