Found GDR Bug: At least I think it is.

TL;DR; Describes a bug in GDR and Data Dude where SQL views using derived tables cause unresolved reference errors, impacting database project development and validation.

This is not isolated to GDR, but seams to exist in Data Dude as well. If you create the following SQL:

1   1: CREATE VIEW [dbo].[v_SomeView] AS
1   2: SELECT    [BH].[Col1],
1   3:         [BH].[Col2],
1   4:         [BH].[Col3],
1   5:         [BH].[Col4],
1   6:         [BH].[Col5],
1   7:         CASE WHEN [BHPP].[OtherCol1] IS NULL THEN -1 ELSE 1 END As [Col6],
1   8:         CASE WHEN [BHPP].[OtherCol1] IS NULL THEN 'Not Applicable' ELSE 'PowerPack' END As [Col7],
1   9:         CASE WHEN [BHPP].[OtherCol1] IS NULL THEN [BH].[Col5] ELSE [BHPP].[OtherCol2] END As [Col8]
1  10: FROM    [dbo].[Table1] as [BH]
1  11:         LEFT JOIN     (SELECT [OtherCol1], [OtherCol2], [OtherCol3]
1  12:                     FROM    [$(CMD)].[dbo].[Table2]
1  13:                     WHERE    [OtherCol1] <> -1) as [BHPP]
1  14:             ON [BH].[Col2] = [BHPP].[Col2]

And add it to your Database project, but using proper table names :) You will get the following error for every use of [BHPP]:

Error    13    SR0029 : Microsoft.Validation : View: [dbo].[v_SomeView] contains an unresolved reference to an object. Either the object does not exist or the reference is ambiguous because it could refer to any of the following objects:….

This is a show stopper for us as we can’t (without good cause) be creating more views just to do a derived table…

I have submitted a Bug , so vote as you like, but please vote…
