Notice

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.

SYMPTOMS

When you run a query or a stored procedure in SQL Server 2000, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
Server: Msg 8624, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Internal SQL Server error
This problem occurs when you use a complex insert query that joins several tables. Typically, this problem occurs when the query runs parallel across multiple processors.

When this problem occurs, you may also experience the following symptoms:
  • The query does not run.
  • You cannot see the SHOWPLAN_ALL or SHOWPLAN_TEXT output for the query.
Note State 1 and Line 1 in the error message help distinguish this problem from other types of 8624 error messages. If a different state and line number exist in the error message, you are probably not experiencing this problem.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of an incorrect evaluation in the optimization phase of the query.
