FIX: AV Joining a Table with a Rowsize Over 1,962 Bytes

ID: Q163730

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

BUG #: 16543 (6.5)

SYMPTOMS

A handled exception error (EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO) may occur during a query that joins a table with a row size over the 1,962 byte limit. If this occurs, the client connection issuing the select statement is terminated, causing a "connection broken" error on the client side.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use text fields instead of large character fields to avoid creating tables with a rowsize over 1,962 bytes.

STATUS

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