FIX: The operation may take longer than you expect when you run a warm query to obtain information from the Microsoft Search service in SQL Server 2005
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 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 2005 fix release.
In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you run a warm query to obtain information from the Microsoft Search service. When you do this, the operation may take longer than you expect, and you may notice increased CPU usage. This problem occurs if the query is designed to perform a full-text search.
Note This problem may also occur when you use Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
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.
