WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, rewrite the query to use a format that resembles the following example query:
SELECT *
FROM View1 V INNER JOIN Table3 T  ON V.V1C1 <= T.T3C1
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table4 ON V.V1C1 = Table4.T4C1

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Create the following four tables:
    CREATE TABLE Table1 (T1C1 int check (T1C1 > 1))
CREATE TABLE Table2 (T2C1 int check (T2C1 > 2))
CREATE TABLE Table3 (T3C1 int )
CREATE TABLE Table4 (T4C1 int check (T4C1 < 1))
  2. Create the following view:
    CREATE VIEW View1
AS
SELECT T1C1 V1C1 FROM Table1 
UNION ALL
SELECT T2C1 V1C1 FROM Table2
  3. Insert data into the four tables that you created in step 1:
    INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (2)

INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES (3)

INSERT INTO Table3 VALUES (1)
INSERT INTO Table3 VALUES (2)
INSERT INTO Table3 VALUES (3)

INSERT INTO Table4 VALUES (-1)
INSERT INTO Table4 VALUES (-2)
  4. Run the following query to reproduce the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section:
