The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q152690
BUG# 15418 (6.5)
SYMPTOMS
Count(*) may not return a result set. This problem occurs on tables with 34
or more columns. When a query is executed, it may return the following
message:
This command did not return data, and it did not return any rows
This behavior has also been observed for SELECT-INTO from that table to
another table.
When you select from a view which has a definition like select * from
another view you may not return results. The base view definition would be
on a table with 34 columns or more.
WORKAROUND
You can use the following query instead of the Count(*) on the table
select rows from sysindexes where name like 'My_Table_name'
To perform SELECT-INTO from the source table to the destination table,
create the destination table and perform the following query:
insert Destination_Table select * from Source_Table
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 1 for
Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your
primary support provider.
