an OpenRowset little doubt

Hi all.

Seeing that the old system table syslang is no longer updateable(Not even in DAC) i decided to take a look at the definition of it, just to see where the languages are stored.(out of curiosity)

Select Object_Definition(Object_Id('SysLanguages'))

and it returns

Select .......

FROM OpenRowset(TABLE SYSLANG)

The odd thing is I tried to run that query but it gives me an error telling an incorrect sintax near TABLE.

so, the question is if does anybody knows why i can't run the same query that the object_definition returned?

any comments are most apreciated

This syntax works only in mssqlsystemresource database context.|||

Thanks a lot! i copy and attached the mssqlsystemresource as an standar database and it worked out.

Thanks for your help!
