No. I don't exactly see the point, either --- what do you imagine a view
without an ON SELECT rule would be good for?
Perhaps what you want is to replace the view with CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW,
which is basically equivalent to updating its ON SELECT rule. But simply
dropping the rule without immediately replacing it would leave the view
nonfunctional.
