Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 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 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 fix release.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You create a nonclustered index on a column in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or in Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
-
You drop the nonclustered index.
-
You change the collation of the column that the nonclustered index is created on.
-
You re-create a nonclustered index on the column.
In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
Location: sobuild.c:3392
Expression: CompareRow ( rightPageRow, *m_pSEBindings, keyCnt, *pHobtAccess, PAGE_LEAF_LEVEL)
SPID: 53
Process ID: 3268
Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
A system assertion check has failed. Check the SQL Server error log for details. Typically, an assertion failure is caused by a software bug or data corruption. To check for database corruption, consider running DBCC CHECKDB. If you agreed to send dumps to Microsoft during setup, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft. An update might be available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or in a QFE from Technical Support.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Note This issue occurs when you run a query that uses parallelism in the query execution plan.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Collation ID in storage engine metadata is not synchronized with the Collation ID in metadata.
