SQL Anywhere 17 gives this error but I don't see any user or builtin functions. I removed aggregate functions and IsNull() and still get the complaint. What offends?

Could not execute statement.
Syntax error near 'rowid' -- Materialized view definition must not use
the following construct: 'User defined or builtin functions'
SQLCODE=-1031, ODBC 3 State="HY000"
Line 3, column 1

Andreas, thank you for your thorough answer. I did have to set string_rtruncation=On and there were no other errors on settings.

The underlying tables are very plain definitions. No functions like default getdate() or the like. No specialized check constraints.

What a nightmare of error feedback, not a useful line number to inspect. It is an object lesson for what not to do in application feedback design.

Were able to solve the issue? Or you still cannot create the view?

What I can say is that there is a specific topic in sql anywhere documentation about materialized views restrictions. There you can see that:

When creating a materialized view, the definition for the materialized view cannot contain:

  1. references to other views, materialized or not
  2. references to remote or temporary tables
  3. variables such as CURRENT USER; all expressions must be deterministic
  4. calls to stored procedures, user-defined functions, or external functions
  5. Transact-SQL outer joins
  6. FOR XML clauses

I can say that your statements seems to be ok with points 1, 2, 5, 6. Also you did stated that you removed functions, so you must also be ok with point 4. For point 3 you may need to check (even in tables used in your query, not only for functions, but also for such variables? Don't know if autoincrement is causing the issue, but it would be easy to check).

Also, it is mentioned that:

The following database options must have the specified settings when a materialized view is created; otherwise, an error is returned. These database option values are also required for the view to be used by the optimizer:

  • ansinull=On
  • conversion_error=On
  • divide_by_zero_error=On
  • sort_collation=Internal
  • string_rtruncation=On

That's all what I can tell based on the given information.

Andreas.

I did check underlying tables. There are no functions, per se, but most of these tables have a primary key integer with autoincrement. Would that count?

If this is a barrier, I can see why some have abandoned Materialized Views as a solution. Too many constraints to be practical. Does anyone have Materialized Views with aggregate functions like MAX or MIN? My live view had them and I removed them to see if that was the issue, but the error message persists.

The error message is as useful as a Check Engine light.

Thank you for your suggestion. <3

Hi.

The problem may be on the tables used by your materialized view. Check the tables syntax. Are you using any defaults that could have dependencies on functions?

Andreas.
