Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 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, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you have a local partitioned view.
  • You perform an online index rebuild operation on an index that belongs to one of the partitions.
  • You run a query that uses the index that is being rebuilt.
In this scenario, you receive an incorrect result when you run the query.

When this problem occurs, if you run the "DBCC CHECKTABLE('<Table>') WITH NO_INFOMSGS, All_ERRORMSGS" command, you receive error messages that resemble the following:
Msg 8952, Level 16, State 1, Line <LineNumber>
Table error: table '<Table>' (ID <TableID>). Index row in index '<Index>' (ID <IndexID>) does not match any data row. Possible extra or invalid keys for:
Msg 8956, Level 16, State 1, Line <LineNumber>
Index row (<file_id>:<page_no>:<row_no>) with values (<IndexColumn> = '<Value>' and <OtherColumn> = <Value> and <OtherColumn> = <Value>) pointing to the data row identified by (<OtherColumn> = <Value> and <OtherColumn> = <Value>)
Msg 8951, Level 16, State 1, Line <LineNumber>
Table error: table '<Table>' (ID <TableID>). Data row does not have a matching index row in the index '<Index>' (ID <IndexID>). Possible missing or invalid keys for the index row matching:
Msg 8955, Level 16, State 1, Line <LineNumber>
Data row (<file_id>:<page_no>:<row_no>) identified by (<OtherColumn> = <Value> and <OtherColumn> = <Value>) with index values <IndexColumn> = '<Value>' and <OtherColumn> = <Value> and <OtherColumn> = <Value>.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2008 does not use the correct query plan when there is a concurrent online index build operation for the partitioned view.
