System Object SysColumns not found

  • Hi,

    I'm facing a really deployment issue. I have created an application to select the columns and its corresponding datatype from syscolumns table. Its working fine with our development database. But once the application is deployed at the client it gives the error "Invalid Object name 'sysColumns'".

    The SQL statement  used in the application is

                Select * From sysCoulmns

    Later I tried to use the system view INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS thinking that it could be some security setting. This time I got a new error "Invalid Column Name 'Column_Name'".

    The application is developed in VB 6.0 and The Database SQL Server 2000.

    SOME PLEASE HELP ME. I NEED TO DEPLOY THE APP B4 THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SOMEONE PLEASe HELP ME

  • Trt select * from dbo.syscolumn

    Is your SQL Server be setup as case sensitive?

  • I'm with Allen in looking at whether or not the SQL Server is set up for case sensitivity. Many third party products require it, though in SQL Server 2000 you can set this at the database level just fine. PeopleSoft and Lawson come immediately to mind as culprits.

  • Hi

    I think that could be the reason. How can I know from the Server Settings if the installation is Case Sensitive?

    Thankx Allen Thanx Kelley
