I got to write a script that automatically saves the DDL of view into a file and then write backout script to create or replace view with the one I already backed up.

To make it clear, here is the scenario:

I need to create a backup of a view VW_XYZ and save it in a file or a table as VW_XYZ_BUP. ---how do i write backup script using TOAD.

After this I made all the necessary modifications in VW_XYZ
But, now I don't want those changes.

So, I want to get the original script from VW_XYZ_BUP.

For this, how do I write a backout script.

I want the script to do the job of both backup and backout automatically.

Obtain the SQL for the view by querying sys.dba_views and save it to a file.

In the TOAD browser, you can save the DDL firectly from the Script tab.

Better still: do it the other way around.
Create scripts to create db-objects. Store these in some version-repository and work on those.
imho development of a production system SHOULD work that way.
