Dropping a regular view

Drop a view when it is no longer required. You must also drop a view (and recreate it) when you want to change the name of a view.

Prérequis

You must be the owner, or have the DROP ANY VIEW or DROP ANY OBJECT system privilege.

You must drop any INSTEAD OF triggers that reference the view before the view can be dropped.

Task

In Sybase Central, use the SQL Anywhere 16 plug-in to connect to the database.
In the left pane, double-click Views.
Right-click the view and click Delete.
Click Yes.

Résultat

The definition for the regular view is deleted from the database.

Suivant

If you drop a regular view that has dependent views, then the dependent views are made INVALID as part of the drop operation. The dependent views are not usable until they are changed or the original dropped view is recreated.

To determine whether a regular view has dependent views, use the sa_dependent_views system procedure.
