FIX: SELECT from Table with >223 Columns Fails with Error 230

ID: Q153693

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

SYMPTOMS

If a table is created with greater than 223 columns, and SELECT permissions are then granted to a user or group, then a subsequent SELECT, issued by a permitted user, can result in the following message being reported for each column defined after column 223 in the table structure:

Msg 230, Level 14, State 1
SELECT permission denied on column <column> of object <table>,
database <db>, owner <owner>

WORKAROUND

Consider trimming the number of tables in the columns or use aliasing or different security schemas to allow data to be seen by all users.
