The Views module does not make use of MySQL views. As far as the
database is concerned* all Views module does is build queries and run
them just like any other query in Drupal. If the errors are SQL
related you should take a look at the SQL views is generating and
review that against your schema. I would wager that you most likely
have a database schema that is out of date, and you need to run
update.php. If the errors are PHP related, it is probably an
incompatible version of PHP itself.

* I know that Views does so much more and then some, however all the
RDBMS will see is just another select query.

out midstream in a project, with Views tossing errors at me with the
Ubercart views. HostMonster doesn't support mysql views. I asked
why they feel they support Drupal, and they said that they do, just
not views. I said that's like saying they support it, just not php.
Their response was, "Actually its like saying we support a Car being
in our garage.. thats not saying the Doors on the car will open"
So if you need a garage for your Drupal sites...there ya go...just
don't plan on doing any meaningful views and e-commerce.
