Browse and manage SQL view definitions and their dependencies.
## Overview The Views page lists all SQL views registered in the catalog, showing their defining queries and the tables or other views they depend on. Data engineers and analysts use this page to understand the logical layer built on top of physical Delta tables, verify view definitions, and trace column lineage through the dependency graph. Views in DeltaForge are named, stored SELECT statements that are resolved at query time. This page provides visibility into those definitions alongside a dependency graph that reveals the upstream and downstream relationships between views and their source objects. ## Key Features - **View listing with SQL definitions.** Browse all views organized by zone and schema. Each entry displays the view name, creation timestamp, and the full SQL SELECT statement that defines it. - **Dependency graph.** Visualize the directed acyclic graph of dependencies between views and their source tables or other views. Identify chains of dependent views and detect circular references. - **Column metadata.** Inspect the output columns of each view, including inferred data types and nullability. Column metadata is derived from the view definition and the schemas of the underlying source objects. ## Workflow 1. Navigate to the Views page from the Catalog sidebar. 2. Browse or search for a specific view by name. 3. Click a view to display its SQL definition and column metadata. 4. Open the dependency graph tab to visualize upstream sources and downstream consumers. 5. Use the context menu to open the view in the Query Explorer for testing or modification. 6. Review column metadata to verify that the view exposes the expected data types and column names.
