Okay. Since we are on the subject, I fail to understand why SQL Server
2K would return more than one row. If object_id('sysobejcts')
returns 1 then there is only one row with that id in sysobjects table.
I would like to look at the code of object_id() and what datatype it
returns only if I can find it! (That's a different issue)
