I'm developing a Nagios plugin and only have access to SQL 2000. All of the sysperfinfo is stored in the master sysperfinfo, but Googling around reveals that this database was moved in SQL 2005 and 2008. If I use sysperfinfo will it not work with SQL 2005? I thought I read about sys.sysperfinfo allowing backward compatability but I have not SQL 2005 server to check it on.

Also, every resource I've checked seems to reference sp_monitor while on my server it is spt_monitor. Why is this?

Get access to 2005, 2008, 2008 R2 for free by installing the Express editions, no reason to be stuck on 2000 and develop something that will not or possibly will not work on newer versions.

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this info. I had gone to see what the price to buy 2008 was but hadn't even bothered to see if there was a free edition! Thats incredibly helpful.

Checking the EOL on 2000 and 2005 even! Are there still a considerable amount of people using SQL 2000, enough to consider backwards compatiblity?
