FIX: Long Comment in .SQC File May Cause AV in Nsqlprep.exe (179283)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 6.5
This article was previously published under Q179283

SYMPTOMS

When the Microsoft Embedded SQL for C Pre-Compiler version 6.50.05 is used to process a .sqc file containing large comments, an access violation (AV) occurs.

WORKAROUND

In some cases, you may be able to remove lines of comments or the comment blocks before running the .sqc file through Microsoft Embedded SQL for C Pre-Compiler. This workaround may work with some files; however, it has been shown that this workaround only resolves the problem with specific files, and may fail to eliminate the AV with others.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 6.5. This problem has been corrected in Service Pack 5a for Microsoft SQL Server 6.5.For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
