Bug #: 470982 (SHILOH_BUGS)
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 hotfixes are distributed as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 hotfix release.

SYMPTOMS

You may receive query results that were not expected if the following conditions are true:
  • The query contains both ANSI style joins and non-ANSI style joins.
  • The query contains a Cartesian product join without a join condition between one table and all the other tables.
  • The query contains a WHERE clause that is based on a function. The WHERE clause cannot be used to seek in an index.
