FIX: Unexpected Results Using OBJECT_ID() & Quoted Identifier

Last reviewed: April 9, 1997
Article ID: Q159698

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.5

BUG #: WINDOWS: 15669 (6.5)

SYMPTOMS

When you have SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON, a table created with a period (.) is not correctly identified using the OBJECT_ID() function.

For example, the query:

   SELECT name, id, uid FROM SysObjects WHERE id = object_id('dbo.my
   table')

returns information pertaining to the table called "my table" owned by user "dbo" (if one exists).

WORKAROUND

Refer to the table using the name field of SysObjects and, if necessary, the user id of the creator.

To continue the example above, you would use:

   SELECT name, id, uid FROM SysObjects WHERE name = 'dbo.my table' and
   uid = user_id('dbo')

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
