Martin,
I see what you mean, and it would work in your particular case, but it does
not make
sense in general, please review how sql views work, under the notion of a
general
mechanism (as a data source that can be queried), not under the lenses of
your
specific wms generalization use case, and it will be pretty evident this
road cannot be
taken into consideration

Cheers
Andrea
