Question

I have some tables I’ve joined together in a view and I execute the view when I want to pull the result. I want to apply a where clause to the view so that my results provided by the view are filtered, however when I do this I get the error The multi-part identifier could not be bound.

When take the SQL query from the view and run it as a standalone query with my where clause it runs fine, so I have a problem with applying the where clause to my view.

View

SELECT     
   dbo.Assets.assetid, dbo.Assets.assetcommonname, dbo.Assets.assetcode,   
   dbo.Assets.assetserial, dbo.Assets.assetinternallocation, dbo.Assets.assetmodel, 
   dbo.Assets.assetmake, dbo.Assets.assetmac, dbo.Assets.assetnotes, 
   dbo.AssetTypes.typename, dbo.Locations.locationame, dbo.Customers.customername, 
   dbo.Routes.routename, dbo.Locations.customerid
FROM         
   dbo.Assets 
INNER JOIN
   dbo.AssetTypes ON dbo.Assets.assettype = dbo.AssetTypes.typeid 
INNER JOIN
   dbo.Locations ON dbo.Assets.assetlocation = dbo.Locations.locationid 
INNER JOIN
   dbo.Customers ON dbo.Locations.customerid = dbo.Customers.customerid 
INNER JOIN
   dbo.Routes ON dbo.Locations.locationroute = dbo.Routes.routeid

How I execute the view with my where clause

select * from afViewassetlinked where (Locations.customerid = '1')

what have I done wrong?

Answer 1

Change

select * from afViewassetlinked where (Locations.customerid = '1')

to

select * from afViewassetlinked where (customerid = '1')

The view afViewassetlinked is not the table Locations.
