Force View does forces the creation of a View even when the View will be invalid. NoForce Is the default.


Code
  1.  

  2.         CREATE FORCE VIEW

  3.         <view_name>

  4.                 AS

  5.                 <select statement>

  6.                         ;

  7.                         //-- assuming the table xyz does not exist

  8.  

  9.         CREATE FORCE VIEW view_force AS

  10.         SELECT * FROM xyz;

  11.         -- ignore the error message

  12.         col object_name format a30

  13.         SELECT object_name, STATUS

  14.         FROM user_objects

  15.         WHERE object_type = 'VIEW';

  16.  

A view can be created even if the defining query of the view cannot be executed, as long as the CREATE VIEW command has no syntax errors. We call such a view a view with errors. For example, if a view refers to a non-existent table or an invalid column of an existing table, or if the owner of the view does not have the required privileges, then the view can still be created and entered into the data dictionary. You can only create a view with errors by using the FORCE option of the CREATE VIEW command: CREATE FORCE VIEW AS ...;When a view is created with errors, Oracle returns a message and leaves the status of the view as INVALID. If conditions later change so that the query of an invalid view can be executed, then the view can be recompiled and become valid. Oracle dynamically compiles the invalid view if you attempt to use it

Force view: This view is created for the table which is not there in the database.
we an create it as
create force view as select statement......;
Here the view will be valid when we create it. But we can't call the view until we create that table in
the database...
