Anyone know how I can tell which databases are suspect from the views or system tables in 2k?

sysdatabases has a status, but it doesn't tell you

Hi,
This should work, change code accordingly.

Select name as DBNAME,
case when (DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'status'))='suspect' then 'suspect' else status end as status
from sysdatabases

Thanks,

Thanks

That throws an error for datatype conversion

But this is ok here

Select name as DBNAME, (DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'status'))
from master..sysdatabases
