can i use a dbcc command in a cursor.

I am currently trying to run dbcc help command for all the dbcc command available by using:

DECLARE dbcc_commands insensitive CURSOR
READ_ONLY
FOR
dbcc help ('?')
--FOR READ_ONLY

DECLARE @name varchar(1024)
OPEN dbcc_commands

where am I screwing up?

Where is your select statement that defines what records to cursor over? Have you looked at the cursor examples in BOL?

Hi Tara
happy new year.
dbcc help('?') returns names of dbcc commands.
I just want to be able to run dbcc help for each of these values returned.
Thanks

Put the commands into a temp table. Then use a loop to go through each database and run each command from the temp table. So you'll end up with two loops.
