CREATE VIEW | Databricks Documentation

CREATE VIEW

Applies to: Databricks SQL Databricks Runtime

Constructs a virtual table that has no physical data based on the result-set of a SQL query or a metric view based on a yaml specification. ALTER VIEW and DROP VIEW only change metadata.

To execute this statement, you must be a metastore administrator or have USE CATALOG and USE SCHEMA privileges on the catalog and schema, along with CREATE TABLE privileges in the target schema.

The user executing this command will become the owner of the view.

Syntax​ 
CREATE [ OR REPLACE ] [ TEMPORARY ] VIEW [ IF NOT EXISTS ] view_name
    [ column_list ]
    [ with_clause |
      COMMENT view_comment |
      DEFAULT COLLATION collation_name |
      TBLPROPERTIES clause |
      LANGUAGE YAML ] [...]
    AS { query | $$ yaml_string $$ }

with_clause
   WITH { { schema_binding | METRICS } |
          ( { schema_binding | METRICS } [, ...] } )

schema_binding
   WITH SCHEMA { BINDING | COMPENSATION | [ TYPE ] EVOLUTION }

column_list
   ( { column_alias [ COMMENT column_comment ] } [, ...] )
Parameters​ Examples​

SQL


> CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW experienced_employee
    (id COMMENT 'Unique identification number', Name)
    COMMENT 'View for experienced employees'
    AS SELECT id, name
         FROM all_employee
        WHERE working_years > 5;


> CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW subscribed_movies
    AS SELECT mo.member_id, mb.full_name, mo.movie_title
         FROM movies AS mo
         INNER JOIN members AS mb
            ON mo.member_id = mb.id;


> CREATE TABLE emp(name STRING, income INT);
> CREATE VIEW emp_v WITH SCHEMA BINDING AS SELECT * FROM emp;

– The view ignores adding a column to the base table
> ALTER TABLE emp ADD COLUMN bonus SMALLINT;
> SELECT * FROM emp_v;
name  income



> CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE emp(name STRING, income SMALLINT, bonus SMALLINT);
> SELECT typeof(income) FROM emp_v;
 INTEGER

– The view does not tolerate widening the underlying type
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE emp(name STRING, income BIGINT, bonus SMALLINT);
> SELECT typeof(income) FROM emp_v;
 Error

– Create a view with SCHEMA COMPENSATION
> CREATE TABLE emp(name STRING, income SMALLINT, bonus SMALLINT);
> CREATE VIEW emp_v WITH SCHEMA COMPENSATION AS SELECT * FROM emp;


CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE emp(name STRING, income INTEGER, bonus INTEGER);
> SELECT typeof(income) FROM emp_v;
 INTEGER


ALTER TABLE emp DROP COLUMN bonus;
> SELECT * FROM emp_v;
Error

– Create a view with SCHEMA EVOLUTION
> CREATE TABLE emp(name STRING, income SMALLINT);
> CREATE VIEW emp_v WITH SCHEMA EVOLUTION AS SELECT * FROM emp;


> ALTER TABLE emp ADD COLUMN bonus SMALLINT
> SELECT * FROM emp_v;
 name income bonus
 


> ALTER TABLE emp RENAME COLUMN income TO salary SMALLINT;
> SELECT * FROM emp_v;
 name salary bonus
 


> CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE emp(name STRING, salary BIGINT);
> SELECT *, typeof(salary)AS salary_type FROM emp_v;
 name salary
 


> CREATE VIEW v DEFAULT COLLATION UTF8_BINARY
    AS SELECT 5::STRING AS text;
