CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Many dialects support a convenient OR REPLACE
clause that allows for dropping any pre-existing view by the same name in a single statement.
// Create a new view create.createOrReplaceView("early_authors", "author_id", "first_name", "last_name") .as(select(AUTHOR.ID, AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, AUTHOR.LAST_NAME) .from(AUTHOR) // Any inserted or updated authors must continue to satisfy this condition .where(AUTHOR.ID.lt(200))) .execute();
