Is there a way to drop a VIEW in postgres without the need to drop all the dependencies?
VIEW 3 | VIEW 2 | VIEW 1 In my case, VIEW 3 depends on VIEW 2, and VIEW 2 depends on VIEW 1. Is there a way to drop VIEW 3 without dropping VIEW 1 and 2? I tried CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW but replace will only work if they have the same number of fields. Also with tables, can I drop a table even if there are multiple views that depend on it? It's such a pain in the neck to have to drop all the dependencies and recreate them all over again. Any help would greatly appreciated.
