In Microsoft SQL Server 2000, when you run a complex query that includes a UNION ALL operator and an EXISTS clause, the query may fail. You may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

ODBC: Msg 0, Level 19, State 1
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 52 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
