  • Microsoft SQL Server 6.5

This article was previously published under Q165513
BUG #: 16498

SYMPTOMS

You may receive a handled access violation (AV) when you run a global temporary stored procedure. This problem occurs if the process that created the global temporary stored procedure exits or is killed just as another process tries to use that global stored procedure. The following is the sequence of events that causes this problem:
  1. Process A creates a global temporary stored procedure.
  2. Process B starts to run the global temporary stored procedure created by Process A.
  3. Process A then exits or is killed.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, ensure that the process that creates the global temporary stored procedure stays in existence until all other processes are done using its procedures.

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 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
