• some DMV will not work in you are connected to a down-level db.

    e.g.

    use TheSQL2000db

    select *from sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(db_id(), object_id(NULL), null, null, null)

    will not work on a level 80 (sql2000) db if you are connected to that db!

    but

    use master

    select *from sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(db_id('TheSQL2000db'), object_id(NULL), null, null, null)

    will work.
