When reading your script, i was surprised by your test : where ([dbid] > 4) and ([name] not like '$')
i suppose dbid > 4 because the values 1,2,3,4 are for the "system databases" like master,tempdb,model and msdb
[name] not like 'S' : is it for the databases related to the Reporting Services ?
Maybe i am going wrong.If it is the case, please, could you provide me a short explanation ?
Thanks beforehand.
Yes Papy you are right the aim is just to filter to user databases.
