BUG#: 15114 (6.50)

SYMPTOMS

A LOAD TRANSACTION command may fail with error 1511:

Error : 1511, Severity: 20, State: 8
Sort cannot be reconciled with transaction log

CAUSE

If the transaction log being LOADed contains the log records for a CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX on a large table (> 150 MB), then the transaction may fail to load with the 1511 error.

WORKAROUND

DUMP the whole DATABASE after a CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX on a large table.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem was corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
