come on, Derek. ;)
Why would you try running a query about system objects in a database other than master?

Are we looking too much into the questions and answers provided? Or do we think that the questions should be accurately deterministic? I believe a healthy debate/discussion is always good :)

Habit. :)
Novices start by firing up SSMS and running every query in 'master'. After they've cluttered up the master database on their development server, they realise that perhaps they should create another database (or maybe even two or three) for applications and testing.;)
I'm almost at the other extreme where my habitual action is click [New Query], type <U><s><e><space><s><c><r><a><t><c><h><enter><s><e><l><e><c><t>...

I've always felt that I learn more from some of the 'ambiguous' QOTDs than the simple 'how do you do X' type.:)

I agree with Kelsey, if you're querying system objects you would use master. If you're querying backup & restore history you would use msdb.
Think of Sutton's Law: The law is named after the bank robber Willie Sutton, who supposedly answered a reporter inquiring why he robbed banks by saying "because that's where the money is."
OTOH if you are actually creating new objects for testing, a separate test db makes perfect sense.

I think answer should be
xp_ServiceControl 'QueryState', 'SQLServerAgent'
this because if no job will run then sysprocesses will not have any process related to that service. So, i think answer as SQl Server Central Guys has selected is wrong. As per my suggestion they should correct the answer.
Thanks & Regards
