BUG: INSERT...EXEC of TEXT/IMAGE value may cause 702

• Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

SYMPTOMS

Using INSERT..EXEC functionality within a stored procedure or trigger to insert a text/image value into a table may cause a 702 error, such as:

Msg 702, Level 20, State 1
Memory request for 4116 bytes exceeds the size of single page of 2044 bytes.
The SQL Server is terminating this process.

WORKAROUND

Run the entire INSERT..EXEC statement within a dynamic EXECUTE statement, for example:

   EXECUTE ('INSERT INTO t1 EXEC ("SELECT a FROM t2")') 

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
