BUG: CREATE TABLE Does Not Generate Warning Message

Last reviewed: April 29, 1997
Article ID: Q116410

The information in this article applies to:

  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2

BUG# OS/2: 1796 (4.2)

SYMPTOMS

In the "Language Reference" for OS/2 (page 84), it states under CREATE TABLE:

   The maximum number of bytes per row is 1962. If you create tables
   with varchar or varbinary columns whose total defined width exceeds
   1962 characters, a warning message appears, although the table is
   created...

The table is properly created, but SQL Server fails to post the warning message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
