Question

I’m using SQL Server 2008 R2. This is my query:

SELECT * FROM sysservers

It works fine when I execute it in SQL Server but when I use the query in VB.net this error comes out:

Invalid object name ‘syservers’

Answer 1

You shouldn’t be using sysservers anymore – this is a 2000 system table that is only still provided for backward compatibility reasons. You should be using sys.servers and you might want to be explicit about where to find it as well:

SELECT * FROM master.sys.servers;
