So, all that said, was this view just a view you created manually in the database? If so, I don't see Remedy actively doing anything to that view when you make changes to the underlying form. However, making changes to the underlying form could potentially invalidate the view, or make Oracle believe that it may no longer be valid. In that case, however, I would expect that the view would still be there in the database, just flagged as being broken.

It uses the syntax Create or Replace view as blah blah blah.. If present it just replaces - if absent it creates.. Tables like Rick says, it used to rename, create a new one, copy data from renamed table to new table, drop old.. Right now I'm not exactly sure what it does when you alter table, maybe it just issues the good old alter table statement??

This view was recently dropped and then recreated by some "unknown entity" (I blame the kittens). When I asked our dba's about this they responded that the Remedy Application drops views and recreates them when a new field is added or moved around (customizing form views through Developer/ Admin tool). I of course cried BS but just wanted to ask the list; Has anyone seen where modifying a form causes database objects to drop and recreate?
