Index hints cannot be specified within a schema-bound object.

Error Message:
Msg 2011, Level 16, State 1, Procedure MyOrderView, Line 4
Index hints cannot be specified within a schema-bound object.

Severity level:
16.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to use an index hint within a schema-bound object.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Error 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. The index hint must be removed.

Versions:
All version of SQL Server.

Example(s):
USE Northwind;
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 SUM(UnitPrice*Quantity*(1.00-Discount)) AS Revenue,
    OrderDate, ProductID, COUNT_BIG(*) AS MyCount
  FROM dbo.[Order Details] AS od WITH (INDEX = 1)
  JOIN dbo.Orders AS o
    ON od.OrderID = o.OrderID
 GROUP BY OrderDate, ProductID
  ;
GO

CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX cix_MyOrderView
    ON dbo.MyOrderView (OrderDate, ProductID)
GO

Remarks:
In the above example we try to force the use of the index with the indexID of 1 with a schema-bound view. This raises the error.
