Note 2201.4                 ACCVIO during large query                     4 of 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This shouldn't cause an accvio, but SQL/Services can only handle 500 columns. 
I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere... but it has always been the 
case.

TITLE:      SQL/Services Supports up to 500 Columns in a Query

PRODUCT:    SQL/Services (all versions)

OP/SYS:     OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS AXP

SOURCE:     Oracle Worldwide Customer Support


PROBLEM:
    
You are using a PC query tool and SQL/Services to access an Oracle Rdb 
database or an Oracle Rdb Distributed Option database.  

Accessing the database results in a SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO access violation.


PROBLEM CAUSE:
    
This problem is caused by the number of columns being queried.  If the
number of columns is greater than 500, then the access violation occurs.
If the number of columns is 500 or less, then the query works.
    

SOLUTION:

SQL/Services can only handle up to 500 columns in a query.  Redesign your
queries to request no more than 500 columns at a time.
