sp_ivindexhasnullcols (Transact-SQL)

  • Artikkel

Applies to: SQL Server

Validates that the clustered index of the indexed view is unique, and doesn't contain any column that can be NULL when the indexed view is going to be used to create a transactional publication. This stored procedure is executed at the Publisher on the publication database.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

sp_ivindexhasnullcols
    [ @viewname = ] N'viewname'
    , [ @fhasnullcols = ] fhasnullcols OUTPUT
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @viewname = ] N'viewname'

The name of the view to verify. @viewname is sysname, with no default.

[ @fhasnullcols = ] fhasnullcols OUTPUT

The flag indicating whether the view index has columns that allow NULL. @fhasnullcols is an OUTPUT parameter of type bit.

  • Returns a value of 1 if the view index has columns that allow NULL.
  • Returns a value of 0 if the view doesn't contain columns that allow NULL.

Note

If the stored procedure itself returns a return code of 1, meaning the stored procedure execution had a failure, this value is 0 and should be ignored.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

sp_ivindexhasnullcols is used by transactional replication.

By default, indexed view articles in a publication are created as tables at the Subscribers. However, when the indexed column allows NULL values, the indexed view is created as an indexed view at the Subscriber instead of a table. This stored procedure can alert the user to whether or not this problem exists with the current indexed view.

Permissions

Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role or the db_owner fixed database role can execute sp_ivindexhasnullcols.
