Teradata Vantage™

Creates or replaces a view on a set of tables or views or both.

REPLACE VIEW redefines an existing view or, if the specified view does not exist, creates a new view with the specified name. Privileges that were granted directly on the original view are retained for the replace view definition.

For information about the temporal forms of CREATE VIEW and REPLACE VIEW, see Teradata Vantage™ - ANSI Temporal Table Support, B035-1186 and Teradata Vantage™ - Temporal Table Support, B035-1182.
