BUG#: 16518 (6.5 SP2)

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to update a text and/or image column from a cursor based on the position by using 'where current of' may cause error 7134:

The text table and the table referenced by the text pointer disagree.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, initialize text and image columns with values during inserts, so that a valid text pointer is created. Avoid updates of binary and/or text columns from within a cursor.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5 Service Pack 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.
