KB2285068 - List of the bugs that are fixed in SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2

270934

DBCC corruption errors occur during SQL Server 2008 collations when strings that have Jamo sequences that follow the Japanese prolonged sign are used.

271554

FIX: The syscolpars system base table displayed duplicate rows. This fix distinguishes them by adding the procedure number in DBCC checkcatalog.

271708

When query has a filter that references a column in the sys.dm_server_audit_status view, the filter is ignored, and all the rows are returned from sys.dm_server_audit_status.

280004

The asynchronous bucketing target shows incorrect value/string pairs for mapped fields when compared to the information that is available in dm_xe_map_values.

284760

FIX: The Mismatched view can contain multiple views that have different numbers of indexes. This fix forces a deterministic order of views to compare, based on matched functions and on the number of matched indexes.

285377

Users receive an "Access Denied" error message when they navigate to Report Manager locally if UAC is enabled. Adding an updated "Access Denied" message to mention UAC could allow users to address the setting accordingly.

291707

In a given database, using a server cursor that is declared for a select statement that contains any system view may give incorrect results after that database is attached and reattached.

293089

Radial Gauge users who try to use “RateOfChange” or “Integral” as the formula type for the MaximumValue or MinimumValue on the gauge do not see a value in the property grid dropdown list.

296314

FIX: The FailoverAnalysis.sql file is installed during a SQL Server Failover Cluster setup. This script will be called automatically when failure occurs. The SqlDMVScriptTimeout private property controls for how many milliseconds the script can take to finish.

302563

Users receive a validation error when they are upgrading Shared Data Sources that have a space in the name. The error indicates that the name cannot contain spaces.

302707

Installation of Service Pack 1 for SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 fails because of a missing configuration file.

304390

The ring buffer displays incomplete event data (events output from dm_xe_session_targets) when it reaches the size limit for the XML output.

307313

Users cannot return multiple cookies in their HTTP module. This affect users when they try implement custom authentication.

309869

The sqlsos.task_address, sqlsos.worker_address, and sqlsos.scheduler_address Extended Events actions display an incorrect address.

310483

Reporting Services 2008 Designer converts centimeters to inches in the Tablix. This causes a loss of layout precision.

313780

Uninstalling the first of two named AS instances disables the SQL Browser. This causes the second named instance to be unreachable.

319216

Users cannot use stored credentials in their data sources if a Smart Card is required.

322046

A query that has a subselect clause that uses a set expression that does not return any calculated members returns an error saying that subselects that have calculated members are not allowed.

327301

In Analysis Services, setting a dimension default member by using an MDX expression that has a NonEmpty function causes the server to return an internal error when it tries to open the cube.

328752

The sys.dm_os_wait_stats view displays duplicate rows for the MISCELLANEOUS wait type. This can cause problems for monitoring tools.

331630

Integer value gets incorrectly rounded in the SQL Server Reporting Services Reusable Query Designer.

333544

FIX: A new error code (6257) is returned when a user tries to register a CLR assembly that is built against a newer runtime, such as CLR v4. The previous error message (code 6218) was confusing and did not state the actual issue.

336809

An edge case inserts an identity value outside the current range in "set identity_insert TABLE_NAME on" mode. This issue also occurs in backup/restore operations.

338247

If parameters that are bound by the SQLBindParameter function specify a length of SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC, the SQL Server 2008 Native Client ODBC driver causes an access violation if the SQLPutData function specifies a length of SQL_NULL_DATA when the parameter value is supplied for execution.

338999

SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 experiences a connection leak when a user uses the SOAP interface to run and export a report.

347779

SQL Server sometimes generates a "There is insufficient system memory in resource pool 'internal' to run this query" error message. This situation is often preventable.

350670

Users receive a "Page Expired" error message when they try to refersh a rendered report after the report remains idle for one hour.

352788

Error 955 occurs when users tried to configure Management Data Warehouse if they have databases on their server that are not online.

352862

ReportBuilder 2.0 ClickOnce displays a blank report at startup if a user edits the report by using ReportBuilder 2.0 from a SharePoint 12 website.

355222

If MARS is used, the sys.dm_os_tasks view displays the same value in the request_id column for all tasks instead of reporting the correct value associated with each task.

355228

FIX: A new error message indicates the cause of an access violation that occurs if the bucketizer target parameters are set incorrectly.

356127

Incorrect column collation information is returned when BCP.exe retrieves column metadata information.

360584

Subscriptions fail during execution because of an in-memory data structure problem during the attempted email delivery of an MHTML-rendered report.

368388

BIDS 2008 Report Designer running together with SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 crashes when users resize a table row.

376257

The TO, CC, and BCC fields of the "Report Delivery Options" dialog box are cleared after users cancel or close the "Schedule Details" dialog box to return to "Report Delivery Options."

383747

Collection sets work incorrectly when they collecting performance counters on a cluster if the SQL instance name is the same as the virtual network name.

384800

FIX: Improved and additional information is logged for InvalidReportParameterException in Verbose output if certain conditions occur during parameter processing.

393410

When users clear the selection of one or more months in a monthly schedule, SSRS creates separate schedules for each month that is still selecteded. In some cases, this can cause an "@active_end_date cannot be before @active_start_date" error.

393879

Data-Driven subscription fails if a NULL value is returned when it is mapped to the report parameter, which accepts a NULL value.

394977

Subscription and Delivery issues are difficult to diagnose in the Reporting Services trace file. More verbose logging is required.

415084

Users receive an "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection" error message when they export to PDF.

419740

Users cannot use custom authentication in the SQL Server 2008 Web SKU.

424595

If a user creates a user-defined type and a table valued function in the same transaction, and if the function has a return table containing a column of the user-defined type, a self-deadlock occurs. Additionally, the connection that tries to perform these operations is terminated.

421922

FIX: Support is provided for a maximum of 15,000 partitions in tables and in indexes in the Enterprise, Developer, and Evaluation editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP2. For more information about how this support can be enabled and disabled, about its limitations, and about some known issues and workarounds, see the "Support for 15,000 Partitions" white paper (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=199773).

424804

In Analysis Services, some customers may experience access violation when they use a parent-child hierarchy in the condition of an IIF function.

426631

Using a PeriodsToDate function that has a Null member parameter may cause an "Unexpected exception" error.

429253

An incorrect version number is displayed in SQL Server Management Studio and in SQL Server Reporting Services. This causes confusion because the displayed number does not vary from the RTM version number after an upgrade is performed.

430703

A secondary exception may occur when Analysis Services generates a Watson dump. This is true whether the Watson dump is generated because of an actual exception or because of an explicit request to dump on certain errors. If the secondary exception occurs, the server can experience infinite recursion. This generates many dumps, and then shuts down the server.

431298

FIX: In SSRS 2008 Service Pack 2, the RS add-in for SharePoint 2007 for communicating with SSRS 2008 R2 report server is updated. This enables access to certain functionality in ReportBuilder 3.0, ReportParts, and ATOM Renderer, including the new Report preview in ReportBuilder 3.0.

431301

Processing objects in a database that contains thousands of metadata objects takes a long time to begin importing the data. This occurs because the server has to build a job schedule before the data import begins. Additionally, the algorithm that is used to determine dependencies causes slow performance when many metadata objects exist in the database.

432094

A spatial index cannot be safely created in a table that uses CELL_ID, CELL_ATTRIBUTES or SRID for column names.

448007

In certain conditions, the partitioned column name in error message 11405 may be wrong. This causes an incorrect column name to be printed.

455538

Using cell security together with calculations yields incorrect results when a NON EMPTY clause is used.

456534

Read access violation occurs during a commit process if two transactions run simultaneously: one to modify or create a partition, and one to process a dimension.

471363

When Microsoft Office 12 is integrated with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, the SharePoint integration does not default to the Report Builder clickonce URL, preventing Report Builder from starting.

471421

FIX: Localization issue in the Turkish SKU: bread crumbs are now localized on new reportpart library pages.

499162

FIX: An accessibility issue that occurs because the MSAA name of "Symbol" is null. MSAA names are updated and are now discoverable.

503096

FIX: Improved the performance of index creation by DDL statements for tables that have many partitions and that contain no data. Previously, the time required for this process increased in a geometric progression as the number of partitions increased. The time required now increases in a linear progression.

515240

Using table valued parameters for LOB columns may cause an access violation on the server.

520700

MSAA names for the Radial Scale Properties dialog box are incorrect and are not accessibility compliant.

525601

During a check for a granular audit, the algorithm that is used to list any audits that include the event may experience memory leaks of the list of audits. This continues until out-of-memory errors occur and the service has to be restarted to reclaim the memory.
