Sending a simple select query with objects belonging to sys causes "Invalid SQL Statement." (4290886)

If I run the following from Toad SQL Server or SQL Server Studio Management, it knows that sysobjects belongs to owner sys without qualification.

SELECT * FROM sysobjects

When this query is send to SQL Optimizer for tuning, SQL Optimizer throws "Original SQL: Invalid SQL Statement" complaining about 'sysobjects.'

SQL Optimizer does not recognize sys owned objects without qualification.

WORKAROUND:
Please qualify your sys owned objects with 'sys.'

Status:
Enhancement request ST52827 has been submitted to Development for consideration in a future release of SQL Optimizer for SQL Server.
