A remote view is really just a wrapper for SQL pass-through (SPT), that is, it's just a bunch of CURSORSETPROP()s and SQLEXEC()s. As such, the way they work is by passing a string to the back end database via ODBC. This string is interpreted as a command which the back end attempts to execute. Naturally, this command must be formatted as the back end expects and use only functions that it supports.

In your case, you need documentation for SQL Server, which will list supported functions.
