Usually I try to create the view using a CREATE or REPLACE VIEW option. This saves me the trouble of dropping the view. If the view is invalid, right after trying to create the view , issue the command "show errors". (You can get the view definition from the log file.) This will usually give you a reason and the line number why the view could not be created.

How can I get the definition for the view out of database so that I can drop it and recreate it? Might there be any issues with just dropping and recreating it? How do other people handle this when then import goes well except for one view being invalid? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Eric Richmon INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
