SQL2005 -LIKE and comparison (<,>) Operator

garak

Hi,

after testing and checking our source, i woundered why the SQLServer 2000 and 2005 do not the same. The source was fine and i found the problem on SQL Server side.

The Problem is, that the 2005 use bad exec. plans because he use the comparison operater (>,<) instead of the Like operator (SQL 2000 behavior)

So the SQL2005 returns more rows an the 2000. U can see this when using Query Analyzer and Profiler.

So, i search the i-net and found an Update on ms support site.
Now the question, before i will test this update, has somebody some experience with following Update 4 for SP2 for SQL Server 2005 :?:

I have several customers running SQL Server 2005 build 9.0.3200 without any problems; even though there was no need for the new traceflag 4119, yet.
Have in mind that meanwhile 3215 (U5) is available - but I've got no experiences with this one, so far ...
