| Hi,I'm using SQL Server 7 and I have a View with a query on different tables. When I change the structure of one of those tables, the view don't follow those changes I've made.Like if my view is "Select * from XYZ" and I add a field to the table XYZ, I need to go in the SQL Enterprise manager and make Apply on the view or I need to Drop and ReCreate the view.Why ? And how can I fix this ? Because I don't want to run a script on my customer Server avery time I make a change on the tables structure...Thank You,DaSaintwebmaster@obscuresun.com |

| sp_refreshviewJayEDIT: you still gotta run this to update the view metadata, but its pretty simple. I don't think there is a way to 'make the view refresh itself' . . .Edited by - Jay99 on 03/15/2002 14:55:19 |

| I've never tried this but could you put an update trigger on the sysobejcts table (or whatever system table stores the view info), and call sp_refreshview if the view in question was the one updated?A bit overkill maybe......Michael |

Whether you can or not, Microsoft strongly discourages putting triggers on any system tables.------------------------GENERAL-ly speaking... |
