Deprecated Features

  • Good question. I didn't know about this. Thanks!

  • Even after a little bit of research I got it wrong. Tough question, thanks. More reading to do.

  • The trick to dealing with this question is to realize that the addition to 2008 and up was in the performance counters exposed to Performance Monitor. You could see this also in PM if you set it up. Therefore, the DMV that you want is the one that exposes the performance counters to SQL. The view itself hasn't changed, just the counters it reports on.

  • I think a nice or good question is one that includes the correct answer as an option. This is not one of those. I choose to reserve my praise for questions that are well formed.

    It's impossible not to learn something from it and that's good, but isn't that true of just about anything for someone trying to learn?

    I again appreciate the attempt, but I cannot join in the praise today.

    The typos have been corrected

    Almost. The sys.dm_os_sys_info is still spelled as sys.dm_os_sys.info with the dot before info instead of desired underscore.

  • I left that alone since it wasn't a correct answer.

    It's been removed.

  • Thanks Steve.

  • While I agree that errors aren't good, I didn't really notice them in this question. I looked up "deprecated features" in BOL, and found a reference to sys.dm_os_performance_counters. Matching that to the answers wasn't that hard, and was probably done using a mental SOUNDEX.

    Anyway, great question. I hadn't notice that view before, so I really learned something from this.


    Just because you're right doesn't mean everybody else is wrong.

  • Another way of getting to this information is via ...

    SELECT * FROM sys.sysperfinfo WHERE object_name LIKE ('%deprecated%')

    ... but don't use it because this view itself is on the deprecated list!

  • A very useful view - added to my list to check after upgrading.

    Are these all things that will be removed in the very next version of SQL Server, or two versions away? e.g. version 11 or 12?
