the view is sys.sysusers but it's supported for compatibility reasons.

you should use sys.database_principals, check the following link for a good 2000 to 2008 mapping reference

OK- but plain sysusers itself will fail in R2..? how about 2008? if you have that version, could you please try it for me and let me know...
Yes, it's working fine in 2008

what you're trying to do? check for user names in different DBs?

Sorry I don't have it installed here. But, did you try with the prefix "sys." ? Remember that SQL 2008 R2 is not the same as SQL 2000, so things do not necessarily work the same on both.

the reason i ask is i will be sending code to someone who has R2, just wanted to confirm if sysusers will work or complain in 2008 and R2..
in 2005,
both of the following are valid:
select * from dbo.sysusers
select * from sys.sysusers
how about 2008 & R2- does it have the 'dbo' ownership view?

Yes. the dbo still exists in 2008 and 2008 R2
Now like I said before you should refrain from using the sysusers view, specially if you are working in 2005 and 2008. So why don't you build your code with sys.database_principals rather than sysusers? ;)

that's good to know- thanks for confirming it..

Surely would like to, once we get rid of the 2000 environment- till then preferred to keep one query across all environments, when possible.. (not my choice)

yes dbo is there in 2008 and R2.
anushahanna: I use a virtual machine (VM) and install all the express editions or the developer editions on it, so I can test every edition during development. I recommend to do that for testing reasons.

in other words, would
select * from sysusers bring back records in R2?
