Change definition of a view

Hello,

one question: Is it possible to add or remove a column from a view without 
drop the view and recreate it?

If one or more rules depend on a view, it's very hard to extend a view. 
I use the following procedure to extend a view:
- drop depending rules
- drop view
- recreate view with additional column
- recreate all rules

Any help is welcomed!

Thanks,
Andreas Roth

Andreas,

I believe that is exactly what you have to do.
