 |  | Does anyone know of a way to check a database for Broken Views? |  | 
 
 
 You could try SHOW VIEW <view_name> or HELP VIEW <view_name>. As far as I know there is no reliable information on the view status readily available in the DBC. View status is a dynamic characteristic, it
can change any second, and it would be a significant overhead for the database to revalidate views on the fly when something changes in the
database. So, it is "on request" kind of thing. SHOW/HELP or any SQL statement using the view would trigger the validation.
