    Hi
    using SQL 2000
     
    i created a table (let - TA) and its view (sel * from TA) as VA
     
    after creating the view, i added one column to TA
    but the view is not showing it. the view must have to rebuild,

    not an "automatic" way that I'm aware of;

    you can make it a habit  to recompile objects on a regular basis (exec sp_recompile object name) for all procs, views and functions,

    if you just want to recompile objects that refernece just one table you changed, this can get you started: note i limited the where statement to 'view', but you could leave it off for prcs and functions too.

    create table #ReferencedBy (ObjectName varchar(64),ObjectType varchar(20))

    Insert into #ReferencedBy(ObjectName,ObjectType)

    exec sp_depends YOURTABLE

    select 'exec sp_recompile ' + ObjectName from #ReferencedBy where ObjectType = 'view'

    The * in "select *" actually gets resolved to particular columns when the view is created. It is not then bound to the table. Any changes to the table will not change the view. You essentially need to drop and rebuild the view, though you can use alter instead.

    And yet another reason not to use SELECT * in a view.

    sp_refreshview 'VIEWNAME'
