We've just created a new DB, all tables are in place and as per sp_lock nothing seams locked.

We have to prepare a number of views for some external applications.

When I create a view and start selecting tables I notice one thing first, the tables get imported but only show the name of the table and inside the table box there's only *(all columns) listed.

These tables are ok because the test DB houses an exact copy.

Here is the next thing I notice.

As I am adding tables in the query itself the table names all have _1 tied to them. I don't see any table duplications anywhere in the DB. I can manually remove these _1 but the table columns remain hidden. It makes for a lot of hassle =)
(this situation occurs both in design view and in query analyzer)


Has anyone ever come across this, and thank you for your time.

UPDATE / SOLUTION



I should have been more exact in my description.

Here was the problem. the Database was created with a period in the name ie: Floor.One

This for some reason was creating another level of detail in the structure. like BackGround.Color

When creating a view, the database was looking for tables in One instead of Floor. Not finding the tables it added _1 to all tables and made the view highly un usable.

Renamed the DB and all is well now.
