**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/2830 added the sql to define a view into `information_schema.tables` While this is useful, it isn't the standard location for such information -- the standard location is `information_schema.views` For example, in mysql: ```sql mysql> select table_catalog, table_schema, table_name, view_definition from information_schema.views where table_name = 'ff'; +---------------+--------------+------------+------------------------------------------------+ | TABLE_CATALOG | TABLE_SCHEMA | TABLE_NAME | VIEW_DEFINITION | +---------------+--------------+------------+------------------------------------------------+ | def | foo | ff | select count(0) AS `count(*)` from `foo`.`foo` | +---------------+--------------+------------+------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) ``` **Describe the solution you'd like** 1. Add `information_schema.views` (following the model of `information_schema.tables`, e.g. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/master/datafusion/core/src/catalog/information_schema.rs#L136-L142) 2. Remove the non standard column `definition` from `information_schema.tables` 3. Update `SHOW CREATE TABLE` to use `information_schema.views` **Describe alternatives you've considered** N/A **Additional context** Kudos to @mrob95 for the initial implementation. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
