FIX: Floating-point Exception Generating Query Plan on Alpha (130981)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 4.2x
This article was previously published under Q130981 SYMPTOMS
Upon executing a query including a join, with or without NOEXEC set, the
following dialog box appears:
SQLSERVR.EXE: The exception Floating-point invalid operation
(0xc0000090) occurred in the application at location 0x00567938.
Click on OK to terminate the application Click on CANCEL to debug
the application.
If OK is chosen, the entire SQL Server process is terminated. This happens
only on Alpha processors.
CAUSE
A floating-point underflow has occurred while the optimizer was evaluating
possible join orders.
WORKAROUND
It may be possible to avoid this problem by changing the number or type of
indexes available to the optimizer. The problem may disappear when there is
a change in the distribution of data in the tables and UPDATE STATISTICS is
run.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
version 4.21a. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack
for SQL Server version 4.21a. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, please contact your primary support provider.
