HI,

We have one table have problem when run "select count(*) from table". This is a sql 2000 server. it returned different count everytime when I ran the "select count(*) from table". I used DBCC to check the table and did not find any problems. I can fix it by recreate the table and reimport the data, but the problem come back after we update some data in the table monthly with a stored procedure. Any suggestion?

Thanks

Sand

by any chance is the table row count changing?

or perhaps sp4 patching is in order? Is it still sp4 for 2000? check MS site if a new one is out.

SP4 is still the latest, but this issue sounds like the count is actually changing, perhaps do a rowcount to confirm?
