# 2085 Executing UNION ALL With Mixed Blob and Character Columns Causes an AV

Running the SQL below causes DBSys to disappear (and my application to crash).

create table "\Memory\A" (vc varchar(50));
create table "\Memory\B" (mem memo);
insert into "\Memory\B" values('blah');
select vc 
from "\Memory\A"
union all 
select mem 
from "\Memory\B"



Comments Comments and Workarounds
The workaround is to not mix and match BLOB columns with non-BLOB columns in UNION ALL queries.


Resolution Resolution
Fixed Problem on 7/20/2005 in version 4.21 build 7
