## Views
-PyIceberg supports view operations.
+If PyIceberg is unable to automatically determine view support on your REST
Catalog, you can manually specify, `"view-endpoints-supported": "true"`:
-### Check if a view exists
+```python
+from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog
+
+catalog = load_catalog(
+ "docs",
+ **{
+ "uri": "http://127.0.0.1:8181";,
+ "py-io-impl": "pyiceberg.io.pyarrow.PyArrowFileIO",
+ "s3.endpoint": "http://127.0.0.1:9000";,
+ "s3.access-key-id": "admin",
+ "s3.secret-access-key": "password",
+ "view-endpoints-supported": "true",
+ }
+)
+```
+
+## Create a view
+
+To create a view from the catalog:
```python
+import time
from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog
+from pyiceberg.schema import Schema
+from pyiceberg.types import IntegerType, NestedField
+from pyiceberg.view import SQLViewRepresentation, ViewVersion
catalog = load_catalog("default")
-catalog.view_exists("default.bar")
+
+schema = Schema(NestedField(field_id=1, name="some_col",
field_type=IntegerType(), required=False))
+view_version = ViewVersion(
+ version_id=1,
+ schema_id=1,
+ timestamp_ms=int(time.time() * 1000),
+ summary={"engine-name": "pyiceberg", "engine-version": "0.11.1"},
Review Comment:
We've merged https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/3458 setting some
fields by default. `version_id` and `timestamp_ms` lines can be removed from
this example.
`summary` also can be removed once #3441 lands.
