Are you talking about Oracle? View name in sql2k5 is sys.sysobjects.

Not in Oracle,Its in SQL 2005,
I just stumbled upon this when i was looking for some system information
sys.objects,
sys.sysobjects,
sys.columns

It seems,these views are built upon system tables,which we dont have access.
If u try to run a select on the tables available,u get Invalid object name error.

Microsoft doesn't let you query system tables directly in sql2k5, unless you connect to sql instance with DAC.

there's no point in this.
