Error Message:
Msg 4512, Level 16, State 3, Procedure MyOrderView, Line 4
Cannot schema bind %S_MSG ‘%.*ls’ because name ‘%.*ls’ is invalid for schema binding. Names must be in two-part format and an object cannot reference itself.
Severity level:
16.
Description:
This error message appears when you try to create a indexed view that contains a more than two parts column reference.
Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.
Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 16 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be executed this way. A column reference can only be two-parted at most.
Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.
Example(s):
USE tempdb;
GO
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF;
SET ANSI_PADDING,
ANSI_WARNINGS,
CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL,
ARITHABORT,
QUOTED_IDENTIFIER,
ANSI_NULLS ON;
GO
IF OBJECT_ID (‘dbo.MyOrderView’, ‘View’) > 0
DROP VIEW dbo.MyOrderView;
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.MyOrderView
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT TOP 100 od.UnitPrice*od.Quantity AS Revenue,
o.OrderDate, od.ProductID
FROM Northwind.dbo.[Order Details] AS od
JOIN Northwind.dbo.Orders AS o
ON od.OrderID = o.OrderID
ORDER BY o.OrderDate
GO
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX cix_MyOrderView
ON dbo.MyOrderView (OrderDate, ProductID);
GO
Remarks:
In the above example we try to use the three part object reference Northwind.dbo.Orders and Northwind.dbo.[Order Details]. This raises the error.
