I have increased size of a column in a table, there is a view that uses this table, which is of course invalid, the strange problem i am facing is,
when I try to compile the view / or create or replace the view again, its taking a lot of time to compile,

So the question is, when a view is created (create or replace view) or when I compile an invalid view, is the sql behind the view gets executed ?
Because there is a lot of data for sure

It should not.

No.

Post the definition of the view.

Unless it's a materialized view, no. All that happens is that the view is parsed to make sure it's syntactically correct and the data dictionary is updated.

Analyzing the data dictionary with dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats might help.

In the meantime you could post the view definition.
