Problem creating indexed views with linked servers

[Ariel]

Hi, I have a problem, maybe someone can help me.

I'm traing to create a view with a Linked Server

This query works great:

select id, descr
from SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE

When I tray to create the view:

CREATE VIEW dbo.View1 WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
select id, descr
from SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE
GO

I have this error:

Server: Msg 4512, Level 16, State 3, Procedure Pais2, Line 3
Cannot schema bind view 'dbo.View1' because name 'SERVER.DB.dbo. TABLE'
is invalid for schema binding. Names must be in two-part format and an
object cannot reference itself.

So I try this:

CREATE VIEW dbo.View1 WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
select SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE.id, SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE.descr
from SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE
GO

I have this error:

Server: Msg 117, Level 15, State 2, Procedure Pais2, Line 3
The number name 'SERVER.DB.dbo. TABLE' contains more than the maximum
number of prefixes. The maximum is 3.
Then I try this:

CREATE VIEW dbo.View1 WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
select a.id, a.descr
from SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE as A
GO

I Have this error

Server: Msg 4512, Level 16, State 3, Procedure View1, Line 3
Cannot schema bind view 'dbo.View1' because name
'iservsql1.osde rrhh.dbo.pais' is invalid for schema binding. Names
must be in two-part format and an object cannot reference itself.

This query alone works great:

select a.id, a.descr
from SERVER.DB.dbo.T ABLE as A
The names aren't what I describe here (id is not valid without []).

ANY IDEAS?!??!?!

I don't know what else can I do.

I need help!!!

TANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!

Stop! Take a step back and consider what you are doing!

An indexed view is a materialized view. This means that when an update
is made to a base table, this update is propagated to the view, not
only logically, but also physically.

Now, if that table on the remote server was updated would should happen?
Particularly, what would happen if our local server was unavailble? Or
the particular database was unavailable?

In practice, you cannot even have cross-database indexed views on the
same server, and you run into a stopblock already WITH SCHEMABINDING.
If you could create a schema-bounbd view that referenced another database,
each attempt to drop or rename a databaes, or set a it offline, would
need to check all other databases on the server for SCHEMABINDING
references.
