Can you elaborate on that?
Any real world experience with MySQL views?
The thing that annoys the blo*** cr** out of me with the
current implementation is the maintainability of views ->
as the complete query structure is lost once you've created
a view, so you need to run/modify it from SQL statement
all the time :-(
