As far as I know, there is no such setting. I believe that's part of what makes SQL perform quickly. If you turned that off it would have to recompile the query every time and that may add up. It's a common problem that people complain about but I don't think there's really a way to "fix" it. Again, there are other reasons to stay away from select * so you may want to consider those before trying to find a work around for the views problem.

Perhaps there is a way to reconfigure it to check for changes more often. I might not change it because it's a small extra step to re-save each view (there aren't many) when I change a table that is referenced by a * in that view. It's a question of SQL-processing performance vs development-time performance. Just thinking out loud.
