BUG: DDL in Stored Procedure Can Cause Access Violation

ID: Q150460

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0

BUG#: 13884 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

Creating a stored procedure, view, default, rule, or trigger from a stored procedure with an EXEC command causes a handled exception that terminates the client thread if the command is greater than 255 bytes.

WORKAROUND

Create all non-table objects outside stored procedures.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The SQL Server 6.0 "Developer's Companion" (page 203, chapter 6) states that a stored procedure can not create procedures, views, defaults, rules, and triggers. If a stored procedure is created within a stored procedure the following error will occur:

Msg 111, Level 15, State 1
CREATE PROCEDURE must be the first command in a query batch.

Additional query words: sproc sp view default trigger rule
