The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q279319
BUG #: 57966 (SQLBUG_70)
SYMPTOMS
Running a query with two or more nested IN clauses and a CASE statement may cause the connection to be broken and the following error to be returned:
ODBC: Msg 0, Level 19, State 1
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 7 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
Connection Broken
CAUSE
The query caused a handled exception in SQL Server, and the process was stopped.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, replace the IN clause with a SELECT COUNT(1) > 0 statement. For example, part of the query that looks like the following:
CASE
WHEN T1.F1 IN (SELECT T2 FROM T2) THEN value1
ELSE value2
END
Can be rewritten as:
CASE
WHEN (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM T2 WHERE T1.F1 = T2.F2) > 0 THEN value1
ELSE value2
END
