| CR Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 466609 | Repartitioned exchange can cause poor performance and in some cases we do not need to incur that performance penalty. Instead, it can be handled during a selective index scan, provided the column on which the data needs to be partitioned is part of the index. |
| 475469 | Message 4207 Dump transaction is not allowed because a non-logged operation was performed on the database will be raised if the SELECT INTO EXISTING TABLE syntax is used even if the SELECT INTO / BULK COPY dboption is turned off. The SELECT INTO EXISTING syntax was meant for internal use and not intended to be documented or used by end-users. |
| 488602 | Enable memusage and enhance who command in sybmon |
| 491727 | In rare circumstances, after HA-failover, message "infected with signal 11" in module 'astc__h_ase_sendrpc' may be reported in the errorlog along with a stacktrace. |
| 539699 | Computed columns using global variables may under some conditions provide unexpected values. Sometimes stack traces may happen with reference to add__computedcol module when using the table with such computed columns. |
| 547757 | Error 559 and 3702 could be raised when executing a stored procedure if set fmtonly is on. |
| 555255 | When a query contains a negative integer specified such as -(90), and when literal parameterization is on, parser or normalization syntax error might be raised when the query is cached and has to be recompiled during subsequent executions. |
| 568554 | In some circumstances, when attempting to login to the server and the server runs out of locks, a 1204 error may be raised and a signal 11 may be reported in the errorlog followed by a stacktrace involving the module 'lock_logical'. |

| 590312 | If reformating strategy is used and an index key has BIT datatype, it could return wrong result sometimes. |
| 590626 | The database timestamp could wrongly exceed its maximum value following a 6901 error, "Overflow on High component of timestamp occurred in database < dbid > . Database table possibly corrupt". This is no longer possible. After warnings that the database timestamp is reaching its limit, the database will finally be shut down, leaving the database in read-only mode. |
| 592395 | Signal 11 in function ResRelOp()and spid termination with ResRelOpProcess(), CgpPop::_CgpPePredBmToScalar visible in the stack trace in the error log. Query involving outer join onto a virtual expression from a sub-query containing the column involved in the virtual expression in a further outer-join clause. A virtual expression is generally the result of a built-in function (isnull etc) Trace flag 7757 turns off this change. |
| 596198 | User with sa role is allowed to login to cluster while polite shutdown is waiting for current user connections to exit. |
| 596681 | Missing message in outputs of sp_helpconfig for some parameters in ASE 1503. |
| 610496 | Signal 11 in function CgEvals::_CgCompVcol() may be seen in the error log and the spid terminated under rare circumstances involving a reformatted correlated subquery with group by\having clause which references a column in the outer query. Other entries in the stack would include CgpGroupHashing & CgpStoreInd |
| 610956 | ASE installations with large number of databases, with high number of engines and inter database transactions would result in high contention of dbt_spin. |
| 618881 | An infected with 11 involving operator LeHashOp or LeGroupSortedOp may be raised when selecting an aggregate function such as count() from a DISTINCT derived table based on an equijoin between local and proxy tables and the equijoin is on char/varchar type columns. |
| 619134 | @@rowcount is not 0 after TRANSFER TABLE command failed to import data. |
| 620806 | For INSERT SELECT queries with an ORDER BY clause, the ORDER BY clause may be ignored if the table being inserted into has referential integrity checks. |
| 621863 | When a DISTINCT view (or derived table) is queried in a parent DISTINCT query or is part of an EXISTS join (e.g. under IN/Any subquery), signal 11 stacktrace could happen in CgpPop::_CgpPePredBmToScalar() for distinct operator (CgpDistinctHashing/CgpDistinctSorting/CgpDistinctSorted) when the following three conditions are all true: 1. The DISTINCT view/derived table has at least one expression SELECT column; 2. The parent SELECT DISTINCT columns are only a subset of the DISTINCT view columns. Or if the EXISTS join is on one of the DISTINCT view columns; 3. One of DISTINCT view columns which is not part of 2) has a predicate on it in the parent query block. |
| 622415 | If a table has a trigger defined and 'statement cache' and 'literal autoparam' are enabled, it could cause a problem if a error is detected when processing the trigger. |
| 622722 | In SDC, error 2601 is seen when insert large number of identity values into table with unique index. Trace flag 16842 can be used to track the SQL that caused the 2601 error. |

This is an internal system error. Please contact Sybase Technical Support.", will be raised when running WRITETEXT statement on a text page chain of a replicated table after rebuilding this text page chain using DBCC REBUILD_TEXT with the first text page number specified. |
| 628124 | In ASE Cluster Edition, server may hang under rare circumstances while running utilities like ALTER TABLE. |
| 628597 | In a shared disk cluster system, poor performance of failover recovery can result from an unnecessarily large number of disk writes that are performed when recalaculating OAM counts at the end of the failover recovery redo pass. |
| 629475 | A 225 error, "Cannot run query--referenced object (name NAME NOT RECOVERABLE) dropped during query optimization." may be reported when running a SELECT INTO from a view that had to be internally recreated from its source text, for example, because the database was upgraded from a previous version. |
| 629846 | Executing CIS queries concurrently accessing external files on a multi-engine server may crash the server with signal 10 (SIGBUS). |
| 630202 | In rare circumstances, stale log pages might be cached after node failure in a shared disk cluster such that two or more surviving nodes are left and failover recovery was needed for a multi-database transaction that was found in a prepared state. If the database is replicated, it is possible that the stale log pages will result in errors during replication. |
| 631758 | The value1 and value2 fields in sp_dbcc_run_differentialreport have insufficent length, thus causes conversion error. |
| 631915 | A signal 11 followed by a stacktrace involving CgpSort::_cgpInit() may occur when a VIEW or derived table with a non-correlated scalar aggregate subquery expression SELECT column is participating in some equijoin over the VIEW column. |
| 632023 | Under very specific circumstances a query that has been cached in the statement cache appears to be cached a second time according to the output of showplan, but the query has actually reused a cached plan. |
| 632055 | When large Java classes using nested methods causing deep recursions are run concurrently by multiple sessions, ASE may run into a situation where the signature cache of the PCI integrated JavaVM gets corrupted causing the report of inconsistent error messages. In some cases this may result in the JVM aborting or ASE shutting down itself. |
| 632076 | Executing ALTER TABLE with a MODIFY clause together with a clause for addition of a table level constraint may result in signal 11 followed by a stacktrace involving the module 'palt__build_insert_forusertable'. |
| 635663 | Executing parallel SELECT on syscomments with traceflag 15331 enabled may result in a 1289 error followed by a stacktrace involving the modules 'lock__ins_logical' and 'lock_logical'. |
| 636684 | sp_unbindexeclass fails with error 512 when more than one row qualify for the delete operation. |
| 636825 | If "enable ssl" is configured and there is no ssl entry in the interfaces file when starting an ASE, sp_listener "start","ssltcp: < host > : < port > :'CN= < common name > '"," < engine > " will fail, with common name mismatch error. |
| 637307 | Using the "with verify=full" option for a database causes warning messages in the backup server log relating to pages 24-31. These messages are due to the system table that uses these pages having a special format. They can be safely ignored. |
| 637395 | In the Cluster Edition, when monitoring is enabled, the MaxIOServiceTime in the MDA table monOpenPartitionActivity may sometimes have values less than the AvgIOServiceTime. |
| 637589 | Signal 11 in function ScalarNormalizing() (amongst others) may be seen in the error log and the spid terminated when attempting to insert < table > ( < column-list > )..select < col > from < table2 > union/union all < select > in a procedure where < table > is created inside the procedure and < table > contains non-nullable columns that are not in < column-list > . |
| 637600 | Signal 11 stacktrace with error msg 416 may be seen in the error log and the spid terminated when attempting to insert < table > ( < column-list > )..select < col > from < table2 > union/union all < select > in a procedure where < table > is created inside the procedure and < table > contains non-nullable columns that are not in < column-list > . |
| 637698 | A 9543 error, "Parameter passed to the builtin 'lockscheme' has an invalid type.", may be encountered when the lockschme function is used with id and dbid parameters from master..sysprocesses. |
| 638488 | A SELECT query after USE DBNAME in the same line may look up a previous cached statement in another database and raise 225 error, "Cannot run query--referenced object (name NAME NOT RECOVERABLE) dropped during query optimization." |
| 639045 | Under some rare condition, Msg 913 might raise when pagesize() is used with other builtin functions or UDF functions in a query. |
| 639969 | A 530 message, "Attempt to insert NULL value into column < column_no > in work table (table id - < table_ID > ); column does not allow NULLS. UPDATE fails." may be encountered when executing queries involving derived table and aggregation functions. |
| 640541 | Error message 14702, "XMLPARSE(): XML parser fatal error < < An exception occurred! Type:RuntimeException, Message:The buffer manager cannot provide any more buffers > > at line < line_number > , offset < offset_num > " may be reported when parsing XML documents with large number of namespace prefixes. |
| 640552 | A mismatch between the Config Value and the Run Value will occur during booting of the dataserver if a load of sybsecurity database had resulted in less tables than configured for. The mismatch will be seen when executing sp_configure 'current audit table'. |
| 641091 | When running "sp_configure 'mnc_full_index_filter', 3", which will set the optimizer criterion full_index_filter=1, a poorly performing plan may be generated in circumstances whereby a query is running under rowcount (or top) and the lead order by column doesn't have an entry in the predicate and is the lead key column of an index. In this circumstance, the index will not be costed and if this table is placed outermost in the plan, a complete scan of the table and a sort to generate the order prior to application of the row count is used. |
| 641109 | The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'getvalue' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 's_retparams' and 'execproc' may be reported in the error log when an INSERT statement is run on a table having an encrypted CHAR/VARCHAR column, the configuration parameter "statement cache" is active and the INSERT statement was previously cached but it had to be recompiled or renormalized because, for example, all the query plans were in use or the schema for the underlying table changed. |
| 641192 | Reboot of a cluster edition server may fail to recover local system temporary database, when model database is loaded from a lower server version dump, but not onlined before reboot. The errolog will contain message "infected with signal 11" in the module 'obj_id' along with a stacktrace which includes the modules 'recover_tempdb', 'upgd_upgrade_db'. |
| 641535 | sp_sysmon output may sometimes show negative value for the total task context switches due to "Other causes". |

| 644357 | If a stored procedure is created based on a non-partition table and later on this table is altered to a partition table, it will cause stacktrace and raise 12329 error when we execute this stored procedure when compatibility mode is enabled. |
| 644479 | If traceFlag 15891 is enabled, the message, "mhdc_get_stat: No persistent reservation holder with res_type:2109524184" will be displayed during shutdown. |
| 644607 | When using the plancost command from sybmon, ASE will stack trace. This is observed mostly on the Windows platform. |
| 644669 | The message "WARNING: The transaction log for database ' < dbname > ' (dbid < dbid > ) can no longer be dumped due to user ' < username > ' (suid < suid > ) executing < cmdname > " is now reported in the error log when the transaction dump sequence is broken. |
| 644994 | Under some conditions, for example reset or reconfigure 'parallel degree', statement cache clean up issues and memory leaks may occur and it could also make the purge statement cache entry impossible due to ssql_keep > 0. |
| 645530 | Sometimes the DBCC CACHEDATAREMOVE command may fail when executed on a system table, and the following 1265 error, "An illegal attempt was made to release an invalid lock or a lock that is not owned by the process family...", may be reported even when there is no contention. |
| 645753 | Temporary tables created with the ALLPAGES lock scheme may report error 311 when an attempt is made to read the table using a cursor, despite a unique index having been created. The error only occurs in the case of ALLPAGES lock scheme and if multiple cursors are declared in the same stored procedure. |
| 645810 | Linux with multipathing displays "reservation conflict" errors in the machine log when fencing is enabled. |
| 645860 | The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'lt_sqlrep_comp_policy' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 's_compile_stmt' and 'GenLava' may be reported in the error log when a session executes a query that is being compiled by ASE, while a REORG REBUILD command or DDL activity takes place concurrently on the same table. |
| 645944 | Issue a warning if a network listener is using the IP address of a CIPC interconnect |
| 646024 | Sort operators are undercosted in fastfirstrow scenarios. Fastfirstrow scenarios include min/max optimizations, exists scans and the fastfirstrow optgoal. This can lead to discarding fastfirstrow strategies in preference to other less efficient strategies incorporating sorts. The fix for this is enabled by the cr646024 optcriteria. |
| 646101 | Under rare circumstances, DISK INIT may hang indefinitely. |
| 646141 | Print a warning message if the timestamp of a joining instance is not in sync with that of the existing instances. |
| 646207 | When executing DBCC TUNE (des_bind) on a table, a 8428 error may be encountered after which the table is no longer usable. |
| 646220 | When selecting from a VIEW using an equality predicate over two view columns where the two VIEW columns are the two SELECT DISTINCT columns of the VIEW and one of them is also a non-correlated aggregate subquery result there, it could lead to signal 11 stacktrace in CgpDistinctHashing::_cgpInit() or in CgpPop::_CgpReplaceVars(). |
| 646467 | ASE Cluster Edition running on SuSE linux may hit SEGV if native CIPC thread is enabled (traceflag 15582 is not used). |
| 646490 | For a table with auto identity column, REORG REBUILD after any data copy operation (like ALTER TABLE involving data copy or REORG REBUILD) would fail with error 1763. Also, two consecutive ALTER TABLE ADD/MODIFY operations involving data copy may remove the auto-identity column so that any later attempt to see the values under SYB_IDENTITY_COL may fail with error 207. |
| 646693 | After migrating from pre-15.0 to ASE 15.5, sybmigrate may report diff failures with 16201 error, "Remote datatype 'usmallint' (65) is unsupported in local server". |

| 646987 | When inserting data using PreparedStatement and DynamicPrepare=True, data might be truncated when the column type is UNIVARCHAR and the first value inserted into the column is less than or equal to 128 characters in length. If these two conditions are true, then every subsequent value inserted into the column will be truncated to 128 characters, if greater than 128 in length. |
| 647051 | The selectivity estimates for predicates on columns with NULL values may be incorrect for the !=, < , < = operators. There is also a correction for ANSINULL handling of NULL selectivity in which magic numbers were used instead of histogram values. Change is turned on by optcriteria cr647051 in optlevel ase155esd4 |
| 647138 | A 11035 error, "Execution of procedure < proc name > failed because upgrade found no entry in syscomments for this object. Please drop and recreate dbo." may be reported when executing a stored procedure which belongs to a procedure group that was created using deferred name resolution and at least one of the procedures in the group has a SELECT * statement. |
| 647202 | The Opertions column in the MDA table monOpenObjectActivity is not incremented when statement cache is on. |
| 647239 | DBCC PROC_CACHE("free_unused") doesn't refill other engine's ELC. |
| 647569 | Certain parallel query plans available in ASE releases before 15.0 are not supported in ASE 15.0. Cases include joins between partitioned and unpartitioned tables. This change adds capabilities and costing support for these queries. Changes are enabled using trace flags 16970 and 15331. You may also need to sp_chgattribute to set the plldegree on a per table basis. |
| 647726 | A parallel reformat inside a subquery may be costed incorrectly. |
| 647973 | When insufficient served licenses are available ASE should report the requested license type and quantity, as is the case for unserved licenses. |

| 648664 | Under some rare conditions, the statement cache entry could have ssql_keep > 0 and this entry could not be removed by the DBCC PURGESQLCACHE command and this could cause problem for the statement cache. |
| 648948 | Executing a procedure with derived table containing UNION queries could lead to permission errors. |
| 649006 | Table scans were avoided since the CPU cost for table scans did not take into account reduced row counts due to partition elimination |
| 649038 | Under some rare circumstance, parallel queries using expression involving LIKE and variables or parameters could cause stacktrace and the stack will show modules copy__eval() and copy__eoplike(). |
| 649145 | In rare circumstances, the message "Sybmon encountered signal 11" in the module 'pci_configured' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'sm__exec_memload' and 'shm_memload' may be reported in the error log when a memory dump is loaded with Sybmon while attached to ASE server. |

| 649590 | Inherently zero row queries, ie with an always false constant conjunct (ie where 1=0), can take a long time to find a query plan. |
| 649710 | You may retrieve a strange row which has ErrorNumber=110081 and Time='Jan 1 1900 12:00AM' from monErrorLog just after the ASE is restarted if the ASE is configured with multiple engines. |
| 650076 | Cluster lock space rebuild takes time and as CLM rebuild is a blocking operation, cluster is hung for the duration. |
| 650268 | For options, for example 'cpas per ccb', defined as CFG_MEMORY_USED but do not consume any memory at run time, sp_helpconfig will raise error when estimate the memory usage on them. |
| 650660 | Queries with outer joins on encrypted columns may not return all the rows from the outer table if the encrypted column uses the decrypt_default modifier. |
| 650977 | Unnecessary procedure renormalization involving INSERT/UPDATE into temporary table may happen after temporary table re-creation and recompilation. This can cause sysdepends or sysprocedures contention. |
| 651021 | Error msg 7105 was changed from "TEXT/IMAGE/UNITEXT page < page id > does not have a next page, although it should." to "TEXT/IMAGE/UNITEXT page < page id > does not have a next page. Either there is a suspect text page chain, or transaction isolation level 'read uncommitted' has been set. Database < db name > , table < table name > , first text page < page id > ." |
| 651085 | If the stack size is under-configured, showplan may sometimes cause stack corruption for a very complicated plan. |
| 651228 | Running Job Scheduler installTemplateXMl.csh script results in a "ASE150.csh: No such file or directory" error. |
| 651865 | UPDATE on a nested VIEW may cause a stack trace involving the modules 'vu_mergetress', 'vu_analyze_view' and 'vu_call_analyze_view'. |
| 651914 | The 0x08 bit for sysindexes.status2 field does not get correctly cleared when running sp_rename or dropping a constraint. |
| 652103 | The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'des_unkeep_or_drop' or s_free() with a stack trace that includes the modules 'apm__metrics_insert', 'kill_proc' and 'proc__dealocmem' may be reported in the error log after a session that was hanging because of the transaction log being full was killed and the configuration option "enable metrics capture" was active. This error resulted in ASE shutting down itself. |
| 652110 | If a constant expr is in the select list of a VIEW or derived table, and the VIEW is the inner of an OUTER JOIN, and the constant attribute is correlated into a subquery outside of the ON clause of the OUTER JOIN, then a stack trace could occur if a subquery reformatting strategy is chosen, such as in the following query: select Panel = (select PN.c1 from tb1 PN where A.r2=PN.c2) from T3xxx RE left join (select 1 from T1xxx r) A(r2) ON RE.c3=A.r2 |
| 652160 | DBCC CHECKTABLE may result in 12905 errors when executed on DOL table with indexes. |
| 652275 | When ASE is waiting for tasks to exit, print additional information to understand why shutdown is not proceeding. |
| 652396 | In rare circumstances, the message "current process infected with 11" in the module astc_xid_gen along with a stack trace which includes module sysxacts_materialize may be reported the error log while using systransactions system catalog or stored procedure sp_transactions. |
| 652562 | A Cluster Edition instance cannot be "onlined" after it was previously killed by VCS during an attempt to join an existing cluster. |

| 652646 | A SELECT statement with a qualification that searches an encrypted column that has a decrypt_default modifier and another column using the LIKE operator may ignore the LIKE filter and produce wrong results. |
| 652738 | When inserting audit records into audit table fails and node shutdown is issued, the node shutdown may encounter a signal 11 followed by a stacktrace involving the modules 'insert' and 'audproc'. |
| 652772 | Alter table drop column operation may result in a 804 error while dropping a TEXT column from a Datarow Locked table with forwarded rows. |
| 653067 | sp_helpcache does not display the correct cache binding. |
| 653157 | In Adaptive Server/Cluster Edition, the opening of databases when booting a non-coordinator instance, is performed serially so that making all databases available takes an unnecessarily long period of time. The opening of databases is now done in parallel. The previous behavior has been retained under the 2796 trace flag. |
| 653246 | In 'Advanced Options' page of 'Add Database Device' Wizard, the 'skip allocation' is enabled by default (the box is checked). |
| 653511 | If a stored procedure undergoes recompilation, and the procedure makes assumptions regarding session's state (ie session environment settings), the resulting recompiled plan can be significantly different to the original. This fix is only active when traceflag 7773 is active. |
| 653694 | Transfer table command with destination to a 'fifo' file can fail for tables with rows of larger size. |
| 653722 | An infected with 11 occurs in NormalizeScaler when inserting the results of a UNION into a table with a materialized functional column. |
| 653786 | Sybase Central 6.0 with ASE Plug-in may raise the ClassCastException when displaying device information from database property if an additional segment exists on the database. |

| 654653 | The database option "no chkpt on recovery" may be left set for a given database mistakenly when ALTER DATABASE and QUIESCE DATABASE are executed by two sessions concurrently. |
| 655352 | When expressions on GROUP BY lists are in the select list or HAVING clause in which the same column is used on both sides of an operator, then a wrong answer could result e.g. col1 + col1 |
| 655386 | When gracefully shutting down the coordinator node, the cluster may perform failure handling which will be aborted. This will cause some remaining nodes to become inaccessible. |
| 655613 | A DB2 error indicating an invalid value may be returned when a query referencing a remote DB2 table contains a DATE search value. |
| 655642 | In ASE Cluster Edition, under some rare conditions, the CREATE/DROP database commands may hang forever as the other task does not send the wakeup event. |
