CC V4 RC2 how to list SQL view ?

bighen 10 Apr, 2012
Hi,
Instead of linking tables in CC definition of the data grid I defined a view in MySQL database.
That way the connection is quite simple...
But as a result I've got the message:
This table has no primary keys and its records can't be viewed!

I couldn't define primary index on view itself though some field in it has got the primary key on source table.

Is there any way to use SQL views with CC ?
Where lays this limitation reason?

Hi Henryk,

Some Joomla DB features may only work with an indexed table, you should be able to browse a list of your view records, that should be okay, but I have disabled it because it would cause confusion and you wouldn't be able to delete/update your table/view records.

but I will try to experiment with this and see what I can do, could you please drop me a message through the "Contact Us" page and I will try to send you a patch file for that ? I can only promise that you may be able to list the data, anything else is not guaranteed!
