The following query will give you the dependent views for that table: # select a.*,b.definition from information_schema.view_table_usage a, pg_views b where a.table_name='test' and a.view_name=b.viewname; When you alter an existing table (for example dropping a column), you may want to determine if there are any views that depend on the columns you are changing. Example: \dt test List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner | Storage --------+------+-------+------------+--------- public | test | table | gpadmin | heap create view test_view as (select * from test); ##Run the following query with "where a.table_name='<table_name>' select a.*,b.definition from information_schema.view_table_usage a, pg_views b where a.table_name='test' and a.view_name=b.viewname; view_catalog | view_schema | view_name | table_catalog | table_schema | table_name | definition -------------+------------+-----------+-----------+-------------- +------------+-------------------- ddata | public | test_view | ddata | public | test | SELECT test.a FROM test; |
