Re: Getting view definitions

Usually I try to create the view using a CREATE or REPLACE VIEW option. This saves me the trouble of dropping the view. If the view is invalid, right after trying to create the view , issue the command "show errors".
(You can get the view definition from the log file.) This will usually
give you a reason and the line number why the view could not be created.

I did an import into a database and have one view that is invalid. How can I
get the definition for the view out of database so that I can drop it and recreate it?

Might there be any issues with just dropping and recreating it? How do other
people handle this when then import goes well except for one view being invalid?
