How do you add a primary key to a sql view? - Or alternate way to link views to LINQ-2-Entities

Question

I\'m adding a very simple view (or trying to) to my entities object model. The database is in SQL Server 2008. I\'m on .Net 3.5 (SP1) using C#.

The view has two fields

Answer 1

I dont know if this will help you, but you can create a primary key using a multi-statement table-valued function.

I cant find any ref to a primary key for a view, but i know it can be done with a table function.

CREATE FUNCTION (Transact-SQL)

Answer 2

After you create the view using schemabinding you can add a primary key to it:

CREATE VIEW Colors WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS SELECT Color='yellow', ColorCount=100
GO
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX PK_Colors ON Colors (Color)
