Hi,

I have a set of tables defined using DDT and one view. When I use the DDT as the data source for a business object all I see are the tables and the view is missing. Can you just confirm that this is incorrect and I should see views as well as tables. I presume I've done something wrong but, before I go chasing around, I would just like confirmation that DDT views are visible to business objects.

Cheers, Peter

The benefits you get are speed in a really big project... reading the SQL Server meta-data can be slower if you've got a project with 200+ business objects in it (but only by 30 seconds or so).  Other than that, the only difference is that the BOMapper can read the descriptions from the DDT's meta-data for each property's doc comments (that show up in Intellisense); if you use SQL Server, the <summary> gets set to the name of the property, which isn't very descriptive.
