Symptoms
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 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 2008 R2 fix release.
Resolution
Consider the following scenario:You drop a column of a partitioned table in SQL Server 2008 R2.You create a new partition for the table. You try to insert data into the new partition of the table.In this scenario, an access violation may occur.

Symptoms
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 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 2008 R2 fix release.
Resolution
Consider the following scenario:You start a SQL Server Extended Event session in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.You perform actions that are bound to events in the Xevent session on a case-sensitive database.In this scenario, SQL Server may crash, and then a mini-dump file is generated. Additionally, the following exception is logged in the SQL Server error log file:?

Exception 0xc0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Symptoms
When you try toinstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Server Express) or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services, the installation fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Server SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c000001d.If you examine the SQL Server error log when this problem occurs, you see an error message that resembles one of the following:
Error message 1

SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 4 generated fatal exception c000001d EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
Error message 2

2006-03-02 22:40:24.79 ServerError: 17311, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2006-03-02 22:40:24.79 ServerSQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c000001d. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling.For more information about how to examine the SQL Server error log, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187885.aspx(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187885.aspx)
Resolution
This problem occurs because of one of the following reasons:The computer on which you try to install SQL Server Express or SQL Server Express with Advanced Services is equipped with a CPU that does not support cache prefetching.
The affected CPUs include VIA Eden CPUs and Transmeta CPUs. Typically, these CPUs are used in devices when low power consumption,low heat, or low noise is important.The media from which you try to install SQL Server Express or SQL Server Express with Advanced Services is corrupted.

Symptoms
When you install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on a computer that is running the original release version of Microsoft Windows XP, you receive the following error message:

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.Additionally, the following event is logged in the System log:
Source: SideBySide
Event ID: 59
Description:
Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
Resolution
This problem occurs because SQL Server 2005 requires the GetSystemTimes function. The GetSystemTimes function is included in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and inlater Windows XP service packs.

Symptoms
Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you try to run a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The SSIS package transfers data between two instances of SQL Server 2005. In this scenario, you may receive an access violation error message. When this problem occurs, the Microsoft Windows Application log contains an event that documents the system error message. The system error message resembles the following:

DTExec.EXE – Application ErrorThe exception unknown software exception (0×40000015) occurred in the application at location 0×7ee8bd9e.Note This problem occurs when Lookup transformations that are in the SSIS package are executed in parallel.This problem does not occur when Lookup transformations that are in the SSIS package are executed sequentially.
Resolution
This problem occurs when Lookup transformations from multiple data flow tasks share the same cache area.Lookup transformations may share the same cache area when the textin the SQLCommand property of one Lookup transformationthat isin a data flow taskis the same asthe textin the SQLCommand property of a Lookup transformationthat is in another data flow task.
