    Hi All,

    I have a question i have a index stored procedure that populates user database table on name from sysdatabases table where db_id >4 is this true or bad practice?

    if one was to move system database to a different drive will they still keep the id's?

    Or should i just use where name not in ('blah') to avoid any mistakes.

    Cheers

    The system DB ids are fixed (at least in the current versions of SQL)
