Hello all,

I have to create a view on Sql server managment studio,where i have to insert 4 fields fromTaxGroupData table,but one of them is a display method( TaxGroupName()).

Does anyone knows how to add this display method on views that are created direct from SQL server managment studio?

Thank you in advance!

    Display methods don't exist in database; you would have to redesign the logic. In this case, you can simply join TaxTable and take TaxName from there.

    But may I ask you what you're trying to achieve? You shouldn't access AX database directly...

    Yeah i know but in this case the requirement was to access direct the database. Isn't the same thing if we create them from AX?

    I don't know what you mean by "them" in "if we create them from AX", but there is a huge difference in accessing AX database directly instead of going through the application layer. You must open up the database, you bypass AX security, you bypass caching, you can't utilize AX business logic (that's what this thread is about), you must deal manually with things like partitions, data areas, table inheritance and so on and so on.
