Good question! I was just reading about it today while studying for MS's 70-229 exam, so here goes nothing...
Taking an example from the book: CREATE VIEW MyView WITH SCHEMABINDING AS SELECT MyColumn, MyOtherColumn FROM dbo.MyTable WHERE MyColumn = 'Some Value' Some notes on creating indexed views: - The view must specify SCHEMABINDING - You must use owner.object syntax - You can't use * (ALL) - You can't have derived tables - No UNION, OUTTER JOIN, sub queries or self joins - No TOP or ORDER BY - No COUNT(*), instead use COUNT_BIG(*), although I'm not sure if it's the use of the * or COUNT() that's the problem - No aggregate functions AVG, MAX, MIN - The following need also be true: - NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT set to OFF - ANSI_NULLS set to ON - ANSI_PADDING set to ON - ARITHABORT set to ON - CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL set to ON - QUOTED_IDENTIFIER set to ON - The first index created on the view must be unique clustered - There after non-clustered can be added - Removing the clustered index will remove the non-clustered indexes Then to create the index: CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX MyClusteredIndex ON MyView (MyColumn, MyOtherColumn) Now how's that for simplicity?! Probably of no help to you but it's revision for me :OD Ade -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 August 2005 22:57 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SQL/Oracle Indexing a temporary view. Adrian Can you share what that SQL might look like, under the hope that Oracle may use the same syntax. Not a large hope, but hope none the less. I looked up the Oracle (8i) CREATE INDEX documentation and quickly got very lost on all the variations and convolutions. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
