Add SQL SP3

SQL Server process crashes on any extended stored procedure execution. Some DBCC commands (checkdb but not showcontig) also crash the server process.

I talked to Microsoft about it, and it seems that there is one MDAC hotfix that will report a successful installation no matter what. Out of 4 machines, I only had one go bad, but I still have 30 to go...

The fix in my case was as follows:
1) run C:\SQL2KSP3\x86\other\sqlredis.exe /t:C:\Extract /c

2) run C:\Extract\mdac_qfe.exe
2a) reboot.
3) Re-run SQL SP3 setup

It fixed my particular problem, but I don't know if it will do anything to yours. Can you run extended stored procs in Query Analyzer?
~Matt|||Unfortunately this fix didn't work for me.

I don't having any stored procedures to test, this is a very simple setup for my new web server.
