Error 12842

Severity

18

Message text

Adaptive Server cannot process this %s statement due to one or more errors. Please retry this command if it failed due to a deadlock. Please refer to your application log or Adaptive Server errorlog for more information on the cause of this failure.

Explanation

Adaptive Server internally creates a hidden materialized computed column when a functional index is built. When the functional index is dropped, the corresponding hidden computed column also should be dropped. This error indicates that an error occurred while trying to drop the hidden computed column as part of dropping the functional index.

Action

If there is a deadlock, rerun your command. If no deadlock was indicated, this may indicate an internal Adaptive Server error.
