As far as I know, this is going to be a purely manual process.

Assuming that you've got the SQL that you created the view from, then it shouldn't be too hard.

Yes.It is manual process.But my view contains more than 100 columns.S when I changed any column name comments also changed.Is it possible to change name of the view column name using any other way.

Thanks For Your reply

What comments?
You can't create Comments on view columns - only on tables, columns, operators, indextypes and materialized views.

I think you need to explain what, exactly, you're trying to achieve - your one and 2 line drip feed explanations are only confusing things.

This is not true:
SQL> create view v as select account from t;

View created.

SQL> comment on table v is 'This is my view';

Comment created.

SQL> comment on column v.account is 'This is the column of my view';

Comment created.

So you can - I forgot the 'TABLE' keyword when I tested it.

You are right.but my question is

And the answer was and is: you have to analyze the text of the view by yourself.
