Invalid object name sys.dm_db_stats_properties.


Applies to: Microsoft SQL Server 2008Enterprise Edition SP4.
 

Problem Description.
 

I was working on an old customer database server and wanted to have information about statistics, but when I tried to use the sys.dm_db_stats_properties DMV then I was surprised to receive the following error:


Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 12
Invalid object name 'sys.dm_db_stats_properties'


 


Cause.


I found that DMV was introduced on SQL Server 2008R2 Service Pack 2 and SQL Server 2012 Service Pack1. However, I found the version of the SQL Server instance I was working on was SQL Server 2008 as shown below:

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP4-OD) (KB3144113) - 10.0.6547.0 (X64)
Feb 22 2016 19:04:50
Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation
Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (VM)

On SQL Server 2008 that DMV was not available.
