FIX: Parallel logical operation returns results that are not consistent (330212)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)
This article was previously published under Q330212 Shiloh_Bugs:362444 SYMPTOMS A SELECT statement that performs parallel logical
operations may return a number of rows that is not consistent. View the
execution plan to determine if the query is running in parallel. To obtain the
execution plan, run SET SHOWPLAN_TEXT ON in a separate batch before the query.
For example: USE pubs
GO
SET SHOWPLAN_TEXT ON
GO
SELECT * FROM authors
GO A parallel plan contains the word "Parallelism" in the execution plan
output; the following sample code illustrates this point: |--Parallelism(Repartition Streams, PARTITION COLUMNS:([fvs].[FileID])) RESOLUTION
