FIX: Update on View-based Cursor Fails to Modify Row if View Contains a Join (238547)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server 7.0

This article was previously published under Q238547

BUG #: 56059 (SQLBUG_70)

SYMPTOMS

An update, with a cursor that is based on a view, can fail to update a row if the view is based on a join of one or more tables. ODBC applications may encounter a SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO message "Cursor operation conflict" in this situation because no rows were affected by the cursor update. If you are using an ANSI T-SQL based cursor, an UPDATE statement in this scenario fails with the following error:

Msg 16947, Level 16, State 1
No rows were updated or deleted.

WORKAROUND

Define the cursor with the query on which the view is defined.
