Jaime, Bernd,

having said that, i don't think that inventing new syntax is the way
to go... a reloption seems better (thinking a little more, it could be
a problem if the user changes the reloptions of an already created
view)

There's also the issue with backup/restore: we need some kind of syntax
for restoring a read-only view which doesn't depend on command ordering.
So we need a ALTER VIEW SET READ ONLY or similar.


Hence my proposal with

CREATE [OR REPLACE] [READ ONLY|UPDATABLE] VIEW

This can easily be extended to ALTER VIEW SET [READ ONLY|UPDATABLE]. Besides other issues already mentioned, this looks more logical to me, since this is going to change the behavior of a view completely.
