Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2012 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 2012 fix release.
Symptoms
Assume that you have a table that contains more than 2 billion rows in a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. You try to build a columnstore index for the table, or you run some queries that scan the columnstore index. In this situation, an access violation occurs. Additionally, an error message that resembles the following is logged in the SQL Server error log, and a dump file is generated:
Date Time spid # Using 'dbghelp.dll' version '4.0.5'
Date Time spid # ***Stack Dump being sent to Drive:\Data1\MSSQL\MSSQL11.InstanceName\MSSQL\Log\SQLDump0193.txt Date Time spid # SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process # generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process. Date Time spid # * ******************************************************************************* Date Time spid # * Date Time spid # * BEGIN STACK DUMP: Date Time spid # * Date Time spid # Date Time spid # * Date Time spid # * Date Time spid # * Exception Address = 000007FEEABDC8E4 Module(UNKNOWN+0000000000000000) Date Time spid # * Exception Code = c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION Date Time spid # * Access Violation occurred reading address 0000000D573C6038Cause
This issue occurs because a truncated hash table persists incorrectly when the data is being read.
