You cannot create different views with the same name in one PostgreSQL
database.  Hence the first answer is: there is no way.

Nevertheless that's not the right answer. You can create only one view:

   CREATE VIEW PERS as SELECT * FROM TOTALDATABASE where (criteria)

Within criteria you can check the user (`current_user') and return
`true' or `false' depending on the record at hand and the current
user.
