CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW sql error

Question

Trying to update a table view using:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW [vtable] AS SELECT * FROM Files_Table ORDER BY File

The table is returning the old view, not the updated.

Statement tested in the Sqlite database browser:

Error message from database engine: near "OR": syntax error

but didn't get this in the program?

Any idea why it's not updating?

Answer 1

SQLite does not support the CREATE OR REPLACE syntax. The only database that I know which supports that syntax is Oracle, but I am guessing there are others.

Drop the view and create it with the new definition.
