When I declare a view as CREATE VIEW myView AS SELECT * FROM MyTable and ALTER TABLE MyTable lateron by adding columns, it seems that v10 and above adapt the view automatically, i.e. the view contains the added table columns, too, though I haven't used ALTER VIEW on that view. Is that by design? (With v8, I surely have to call ALTER VIEW explicitly to include the newly added columns.) |

Tracking view dependencies, and automatically re-compiling views due to base table changes, was a v10 feature. Thanks for the clarification - though I was aware of those "view dependencies" I just had not noticed this side effect for "SELECT *" views. A nice feature:)
