SQL Server 2005 Standard - support index on a view

[suppose]

Hello all, I'm a newbie.

I have done a lot of research, however cannot seem to find the answer as there is a lot of conflicting advice.

My question is simple, will SQL Server 2005 Standard edition support the creation of indexes of a view?

Im sure the functionally is available on 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 all editions (standard, developer, enterprise) of SQL Server, as long as you add in "with (NOEXPAND)" in order to allow the index to be used with creating the execution plan.

There are conficting opinions on this and I can't test it, but it appears they are supported.

Yes, it does support it assuming that all necessary conditions are qualified. However, the behavior of the SELECT information from the view depends on the edition of SQL Server.

There is an interesting quiz by Pinal Dave that explains the problem:
