How to query master table in Query Analyzer?

In Enterprise Manager, I executed:
select id from sysindexes where (name ='customers')
and I've got the ID of the table.
In query analyzer, I executed:
use master; select id from sysindexes where (name ='customers')
and I don't have the value.
What is the right way to query the sysindexes from Query Anal?

Sysindexes is a system table that resides in all databases. From QA use
the correct database first and then query sysindexes.

There is "use master;".|||Which is exactly what you should remove.

As Tibor said, remove that line. The Sysindexes you want to query is not
in the master database (unless you are installing user tables there).
Use the correct database first... which is not Master.
