Re: How to prevent developers from creating views over production files

If you've moved to DDL for your tables...

And your CMS is smart enough to make use of ALTER TABLE (Aldon at least had
the option), then I suspect that the OS is actually responsible for the
rebuilding of the view in the developers library...

Our reason for not wanting them created is due to the problems it may
cause when trying to recreate production tables. Our change management
software will recreate any views that are related to the table. Currently,
the profile used to do the recreate does not have *ALLOBJ and therefore may
not have authority to recreate the view in the developers library. That
could cause the production cutover process to fail, which we don't want.
Maybe I'm missing something and it isn't a big deal, but it seems like it
might cause us some problems.

Maybe I need to test it out and verify my assumptions.

My inclination would be to side with the developers. Why prohibit them

running SQL select statements against production files?

Unlike traditional logical files, SQL views can't be used for updates.
