Are you sure about it? Becuase the return type is nvarchar(128). What does following returns?

select replicate(‘a’,30)+’test’

I have a server called “ACC-WEB-REPORT01″. When I execute “SELECT ‘ServerName’, SERVERPROPERTY(‘ServerName’)” the result is: “ACC-WEB-REPORT0″, so the last character is missing.
Do you know why? As far as I know the Base data type is nvarchar(128).

Hi,
The values what the productversion and processid returns I am not clear with it. Is there any place where we can understand what the values it returns means?

The processid returns 2248 in SQL server 2000 and 4876 in SQL server 2008.

can I get the fully qualified sevre hostname in the serverproperty(“servername”)?

example, instead of getting server1, I will get server1.abc.com (this hostname of the server)?

is it possible?

Select @@servername
&
Select serverproperty(‘servername’)

Give different values after

sp_dropserver(‘DB1′)
sp_addserver(‘TESTSERVER’), ‘LOCAL’

were executed why? How can i change server name so that i can write just the instance name and not whole systemname\db_instance_name to connect to the server?

Did you ever get an answer to – how do I run serverproperty queries through a linked server?

Hello

Wonderful script: but I’ve found that SERVERPROPERTY(‘licensetype’) doesn’t work in anything above SQL 2000 without a bit of registry hacking, which is described here

And that article assumes you know what your licence setup is…

Have you any brilliant ideas for when you’ve taken over a lot of servers and are unsure as to the licensing status of them?

Many thanks

Jane

This is a great function, but how do you get it to work on a linked server without it returning the value of the server you are running it from?
