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...

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..
ASKER
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
that's good to know- thanks for confirming it..
>>why don't you build your code with sys.database_principals rather than sysusers? ;)
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)

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