Checksum_agg And Row Size Error. Require Explanation.

Hi,

I can see that by using the object ID rather that the object name, the
following SQL query works. Has anybody got any idea what is causing the
error?

-- Works OK
select o.id
,checksum_agg(binary_checksum(m.text))
from sysobjects o
,syscomments m
where o.id = m.id
and o.xtype in ('FN','IF','P','TF','TR','V')
group by o.id

-- Error
-- Server: Msg 1540, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
-- Cannot sort a row of size 8096, which is greater than the
-- allowable maximum of 8094.
select object_name(o.id)
,checksum_agg(binary_checksum(m.text))
from sysobjects o
,syscomments m
where o.id = m.id
and o.xtype in ('FN','IF','P','TF','TR','V')
group by object_name(o.id)

-- Error
-- Server: Msg 1540, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
-- Cannot sort a row of size 8096, which is greater than the
-- allowable maximum of 8094.
select o.name
,checksum_agg(binary_checksum(m.text))
from sysobjects o
,syscomments m
where o.id = m.id
and o.xtype in ('FN','IF','P','TF','TR','V')
group by o.name

-- Workaround
select getdate()
,object_name(x.id)
,check_sum
from (select m.id
,checksum_agg(binary_checksum(m.text)) as check_sum
from syscomments m
inner join
sysobjects o
on m.id = o.id
where o.xtype in ('FN','IF','P','TF','TR','V')
group by m.id) as x
