All my stuff is 2005-only (most work on 2008 also) unless documented to say it works on SQL 2000 (the delimiter functions and the 2000 version of the counter / table of numbers setter-upper.

OK thanks....did not know that as your comments did not specify versions...You have anything for older versions that return the same type of results?

Works on SQL 2005 only. The build would be 9.xxx.xxx

the views are sys.xxxxxx From the 2005 will have a version earlier than this, such as the 2000 hearings have other names, or simply what you should get another. I imagine that you are running on a less than 2005 that will cause the error.los sys.xxxxxx son vistas que se tienen apartir del 2005 una version anterior a esta, por ejemplo el 2000 tienen otros nombres las vistas, o simplemente lo debes obtener desde otra. debo imaginar que lo estas corriendo sobre uno inferior al 2005 por eso te ocasiona el error.PD: QUe no hay un traductor o algo, no se mucho el ingles, o pongan un lugar para español....

Yeah most of my utility procs need to be saved-in and run-from the database you need the data from, primarily because of the joins to database-level catalog views (sys.objects, sys.indexes etc) and me not wanting to use dynamic SQL. I have a index defragmenter, statistics updater, and space usage logger coming that will be database universal as they already need to use dynamic SQL to do their stuff.

Sorry, but I realize that I generated the error, and this is because it runs in my database, and not the master, to work properly, it must be executed in the master.

Oh I see. You are using a case senstive sort order / collation at the server level.

RE: The Ultimate Connection Summarizer and Trouble Finder

It was case sensitivity issue, changing the script to Reads and Writes instead of reads and writes where it was complaining about the view names allowed me to run it sucessfully.

I have no idea why it is blowing up. It is compiling for me, even with compatibility mode set to 80 (its not a freshly upgraded database though).
