FIX: "Msg 7359" error when a view uses another view in SQL Server 2005 if the schema version of a remote table is updated

Consider the following scenario:

• You create a linked server on a computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The linked server points to an OLE DB data source on a remote server.
• You create a view that uses a linked table. The linked table is mapped to a table on the remote server. 
• You create another view. This view uses the first view that you created.
• You perform an operation on the remote server to alter the schema version of the linked table.
  
  For example, you rebuild the index of the table on the remote server.
  
  Note The rebuilding operation alters the schema version of the linked table.
• You run a query against the view that uses the first view that you created.

In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
Notes

• This issue occurs in build number 5266 of cumulative update package 3 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 (SP4) and in later cumulative update packages for SQL Server 2005 SP4.
• Provider-name is a placeholder for the name of the OLE DB provider.
• Linked-Table-Name is a placeholder for the name of the linked table.
• Compile-Time is a placeholder for the time at which the query was compiled.
• Run-Time is a placeholder for the time at which the query ran.
• The following statements alter the schema version of a table:

  • ALTER TABLE

  • REATE INDEX

  • DROP INDEX

  • DBCC REINDE

This issue occurs because after the schema version of the linked table is changed, the view that uses the linked table is incorrectly recompiled.
