Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You enable change tracking for a SQL Server database table in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014.
-
The base table contains very few rows of data. For example, the table contains one row.
-
The change tracking side table (internal system table) contains approximately 1,000 rows of data.
-
The syscommittab system table contains lots of rows. For example, the table contains 1.5 million rows.
In this scenario, when you run a query to determine which changes are made by using the CHANGETABLE function, SQL Server might use a plan that uses a hash match aggregate instead of a sort. Therefore, SQL Server returns incorrect information about the changes.
