> Document (if not already covered) how to get a view definition, which is sql for which the drill view is created:
> {code}
> select VIEW_DEFINITION from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS where TABLE_NAME ='your_view_name';
> {code}
> In Drill, a view is just a JSON file, which will live within the workspace where you saved it. Example:
> {code}
>  create or replace view dfs.workspace.myview as select * from mytable;
> {code}
>  It will create a file called 'myview.view.drill' , which will look
> something like this:
> {code}
>  {
>  "name" : "testview",
>   "sql" : "SELECT *\nFROM `drill/new.json`\nFETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY",
>   "fields" : [ {
>     "name" : "*",
>     "type" : "ANY",
>    "isNullable" : true
>  } ],
>    "workspaceSchemaPath" : [ "dfs", "workspace" ]
>  }
> {code}
