using exec sp_help with a different schema then dbo

thread183-1562421

using exec sp_help with a different schema then dbo

using exec sp_help with a different schema then dbo

(OP)
When I try to use sp_help with any other schema besides dbo, I get an error: Incorrect syntax near '.'. So when I try exec sp_help Reports.TableA I get the error above.  

Does the syntax have to be different when using a non-dbo schema?

Thanks

RE: using exec sp_help with a different schema then dbo

try...

CODE

exec Reports.sp_help TableA

Got the error:

Could not find stored procedure 'Reports.sp_help'.

RE: using exec sp_help with a different schema then dbo

My mistake.  Sorry.

If you are trying to look something up in a different database, you can use:

sp_help Database.schema.sp_help ProcedureName

Anyway.... for your case, you should use single-quotes around the object name, like this:

CODE

exec sp_help 'Reports.TableA'
