SYMPTOMS

When a Microsoft Visual Basic application opens a dynamic cursor on a GROUP BY query, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:

Run-time error '3251': Object or provider is not capable of performing requested operation

This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

The server is running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4).
The recordset object is declared by using the WithEvents keyword.
The dynamic cursor is implemented on the server.

RESOLUTION

The installer does not install this hotfix correctly on x64-based systems. This installation issue occurs when the following conditions are true:

The system uses the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AMD64 processor architecture or the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) processor architecture.

Note This issue does not occur on systems that use the Intel Itanium processor architecture.
The system is running a 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows Server operating system.
The system is running a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2000.

We have corrected this installation issue in later builds of SQL Server 2000, starting with version 8.00.2244. When a customer who is running SQL Server 2000 on an x64-based system requests this hotfix, we will provide a build that includes this hotfix and that can be installed correctly on an x64-based system. The build that we provide will be version 8.00.2244 or a later version.

Steps to reproduce the problem

To reproduce the problem, use the following Visual Basic code example.

Dim cnx As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim srvName As String
    
    srvName = "myServer"
    cnx.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=" & srvName & ";Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Northwind"
    cnx.Open
    
    Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
    Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cnx
    
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Orders.OrderID FROM Customers LEFT OUTER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID GROUP BY Customers.CustomerID, Orders.OrderID ORDER BY Orders.OrderID"
    cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
    'cmd.CommandText = "dbo.test"
    'cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
    
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    rs.CursorLocation = adUseServer
    
    ' should fail with 3251
    rs.Open Source:=cmd, CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic, Options:=1
        
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    Set cmd = Nothing
    
    cnx.Close
    Set cnx = Nothing

Note In this code example, change the value of the srvName parameter to the name of the server.
