BUG #: 20000179 (SQL Server 8.0)SQL Server 8.0:20000179
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 fixes 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 fix release.

SUMMARY

This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
  • The issues that are fixed by the hotfix package
  • The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
  • Whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
  • Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
  • Whether you must make any registry changes
  • The files that are contained in the hotfix package

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4 (SP4), a query that generates a very large query plan may not run. For example, the query may not run when you use the DELETE Transact-SQL statement and you try to delete records from a table that has FOREIGN KEY constraints on many tables. When this problem occurs, you may receive the following error message:
Server: Msg 8630, Level 17, State 34, Procedure <TableName>, Line nn
Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor encountered an unexpected error during execution.
Note This problem may not occur in SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3 (SP3).

CAUSE

This problem may occur because new checks were added to the SQL Server compiler after SQL Server build 2000.80.0929. The new checks make sure that the submitted query does not cause a stack overflow.
