Question 26

Answer E is correct. When you implement a view using WITH SCHEMABINDING, SQL Server automatically handles the situation for you. Underlying tables cannot be altered. You would have to drop any object that stated WITH SCHEMABINDING prior to altering the table structure. SCHEMABINDING is utilized for locking in an object schema to prevent changes; this is why it is mandated in setting up indexed views.
