DROP VIEW

Function

DROP VIEW forcibly deletes a view from the database.

Precautions

The owner of a view, users granted with the DROP permission on the view, or users granted with the DROP ANY TABLE permission can run the DROP VIEW command. The system administrator has the permission to run the command by default.
