linked server query causes sqlsrver to crash

[niall5098]

HI There,

i have a sql server 2012 installation that i was running a simple select count from to a linked oracle server. this simple select causes the instance to crash. I was running sql server 2012 rtm and applied the latest patch as there was a known issue around linked servers and the RTM version. however i thought the patch would fix that. has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks in advance,

I have encountered issues where poorly configured linked servers can cause SQL Server to hang, but not crash. Is this linked server running in or out of process?
