I m getting following error

#1050 - Table 'hs_hr_employee' already exists

Any help Thankful

Answer 1

you can’t , give to view different name like

hs_hr_employee_view

from manual

Within a database, base tables and views share the same namespace, so
a base table and a view cannot have the same name.
