specifies that the
view is removed without error processing.
Details
A view can be considered
a virtual table. The view is formed by running a query expression
against one or more tables. Dropping a view does not change any data
in the database. Only the metadata that is associated with the view
is deleted.
Any view on a dropped
table can be dropped explicitly by using the DROP VIEW statement.
Comparisons
