Re: SQL thinks it's Slammer



I know of no anti-slammer heuristics built into SQL Server. The slammer
protection was a relatively simple patch to address the buffer overrun
exploit and nothing more that I know of.

Can SQL server 2000 think that the slammer virus is affecting it and start
shutting it's services down, or limiting it's service? I was told that sql
2000 SP4 has the slammer fix, and if multiple queries are used the SQL
server
thinks it's the slammer virus. Is this true? Is there a way to prevent
this
if so?
