Interesting Defect Report Database Server Crashes When you run a complex query against Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the SQL Server scheduler may stop respond- ing. Additionally, you receive an error message that resem- bles the following: Date Time server Error: 17883 Sever- ity: 1, State: 0 Date Time server Process 52:0 (94c) ... Kapfhammer Allegheny College Regression Testing Techniques for Relational Database Applications
Interesting Defect Report Input-Dependent Defect This problem occurs when one or more of the following con- ditions are true: The query contains a UNION clause or a UNIONALL clause that affects many columns. The query contains several JOIN statements. The query has a large estimated cost.
