I have no experience with SQL Server 2005. I’ve been assigned a task to modify views for adding 4 columns to the view. Is it possible to do this without the column change reflected in the table the view is referring. If I have the columns in the Table, then should I just drop the view and create a new one or is there a way to alter it.
You can use ALTER VIEW to achieve the result you are looking for.
This will just act as dropping the existing view and adding new columns from your new select statement. However, this is better than dropping your existing view and creating a new view because the Alter view will retain the permissions granted to users.
