    Parameter

    Description

    View Name

    (Mandatory) Enter a view name.

    Definer

    Enter a definer.

    Algorithm

    (Optional) You can leave this parameter blank or set it to MERGE, TEMPTABLE, or UNDEFINED.

    • UNDEFINED: The required algorithm is automatically selected.
    • MERGE: A combination algorithm. Executing this algorithm will combine and execute SQL statements of the view and those of the external query view.
    • EMPTABLE: The result is stored in a temporary table for query.

    Security

    (Optional) You can leave this parameter blank or set it to DEFINER or INVOKER.

    • DEFINER: When the view is executed, the user account specified by DEFINER will be used to check access privileges for the view.
    • INVOKER: When the view is executed, the user account specified by INVOKER will be used to check access privileges for the view.

    Check Option

    (Optional) You can leave this parameter blank or set it to LOCAL or CASCADED.

    • If you select CASCADED for Check Option, the view that the current view depends on will also have the check option.
    • If you select LOCAL for Check Option, the system checks whether the view that the current view depends on has check options. If yes, the system checks the view that the current view depends on. If no, the system does not check the view.

    View Definition Statement

    Enter a SQL statement for creating the view. You only need to enter the SELECT part.

  9. In the displayed dialog box, click Execute.
