Hello friends, I have a view defined as:- CREATE VIEW vivek_testview AS SELECT vivek_test.* , users.username AS name from users, vivek_test where vivek_test.username=users.username; Now, when I add a new column in vivek_test, I cant see the new column in the view. Currently we have to drop the view and recreate it. Is there a way that i can see the new column without dropping and recreating the view ? Thanks for reading this. Thanks for your replies in advance. With warm regards. Vivek J. Joshi. vivek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Trikon Electronics Pvt. Ltd. All science is either physics or stamp collecting. -- Ernest Rutherford
