Re: Add pseudo columns to an existing view

[Arun J <ma...@gmail.com>]

Josh,

I had looked through the documentation
<https://phoenix.apache.org/views.html> and all the tests (core/../end2end)
on CREATE/ALTER VIEW usage.  I could not find appropriate documentation
around this.

I am trying to ALTER VIEW as below and it doesn't seem to be supported.
Here the STRVALUE is one of column in the original View.  Appreciate any
pointers.

ALTER VIEW MY_VIEW_NAME ADD NUMVALUE DECIMAL TO_NUMBER(STRVALUE)
