WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, run the DELETE statement by using a query hint to use a hash join as the join strategy of the query. To do this, include the OPTION (HASH JOIN) clause in the query, and then run the query.

For more information about using the OPTION clause to specify a join strategy, see the "OPTION clause" section in the following MSDN Web site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_sa-ses_9sfo.asp

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

This problem was first corrected in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4.
