Table-Valued Object Properties

These properties appear in the Properties window when you select a table-valued object in Query and View Designer. The table-valued object could be a view, synonym, derived table, or table-valued function. Unless otherwise noted, these properties are read-only in the Properties window.

Note

The properties in this topic are ordered by category rather than alphabet.

Note

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.
