'Incorrect SET Options' Error When Building Database Project

Question

We are using Visual Studio and a database project to generate our database.

I just made a number of database changes (including adding a new table named Corres

Answer 1

In my case I was trying to create a table from one database to another on MS SQL Server 2012. Right-clicking on a table and selecting Script Table as > DROP And CREATE To > New Query Editor Window, following script was created:

USE [SAMPLECOMPANY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Departments]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Employees]    Script Date: 8/24/2016 9:31:15 PM ******/
DROP TABLE [dbo].[Employees]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Employees]    Script Date: 8/24/2016 9:31:15 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employees](
    [EmployeeId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [DepartmentId] [int] NOT NULL,
    [FullName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [HireDate] [datetime] NULL
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Employees] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [EmployeeId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees]  WITH CHECK ADD  CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Departments] FOREIGN KEY([DepartmentId])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Departments] ([DepartmentID])
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Departments]
GO

However when executing above script it was returning the error:

SELECT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ANSI_PADDING'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or filtered indexes and/or query notifications and/or XML data type methods and/or spatial index operations.

The Solution I've found: Enabling the settings on the Top of the script like this:

USE [SAMPLECOMPANY]
GO
/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Employees]    Script Date: 8/24/2016 9:31:15 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Departments]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Employees]    Script Date: 8/24/2016 9:31:15 PM ******/
DROP TABLE [dbo].[Employees]
GO



CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employees](
    [EmployeeId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [DepartmentId] [int] NOT NULL,
    [FullName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
    [HireDate] [datetime] NULL
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Employees] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [EmployeeId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees]  WITH CHECK ADD  CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Departments] FOREIGN KEY([DepartmentId])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Departments] ([DepartmentID])
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Departments]
GO

SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO

Hope this help.
