BUG #: 16050 (sql server: 6.5)
SYMPTOMS
When an ODBC application uses a SQLStatistics function call to retrieve the
index information associated with the views, the SQLStatistics function
does not return any index information for the views.
When Microsoft Access database users create link tables to SQL Server
tables using SQL Server data sources, the SQL Server ODBC Driver uses
SQLStatistics to automatically retrieve the index information and set up
the link tables, without prompting the users to select a unique index for
the tables.
Microsoft Access database users may be prompted to select the unique index
record identifier when they create link tables to SQL Server views, because
SQLStatistics does not return any information associated with the views.
CAUSE
SQLStatistic uses the Microsoft SQL Server stored procedure sp_statistics
to retrieve the unique index information, and sp_statistics does not return
unique index information for views.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
version 6.5, Open Database Connectivity 2.5, and ODBC Driver version 2.65.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
