hm... so what would this output?

CREATE VIEW a AS (select 1 as a, 2 as b);
CREATE VIEW b AS (select x,y FROM a AS a(x,y))
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW a AS (select 1 as b, 'two' as c, 3 as a);
SELECT * FROM b;

What about this?

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW a AS (select 1 as b, 2 as c, 'three as a);
SELECT * FROM b;
