VIEWS (Transact-SQL)

SQL Server 2008 R2

Returns one row for views that can be accessed by the current user in the current database.

To retrieve information from these views, specify the fully qualified name of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.view_name.

Column name	Data type	Description
TABLE_CATALOG	nvarchar(128)	View qualifier.
TABLE_SCHEMA	nvarchar(128)	Name of schema that contains the view. Important Do not use INFORMATION_SCHEMA views to determine the schema of an object. The only reliable way to find the schema of a object is to query the sys.objects catalog view.
TABLE_NAME	nvarchar(128)	View name.
VIEW_DEFINITION	nvarchar(4000)	If the length of definition is larger than nvarchar(4000), this column is NULL. Otherwise, this column is the view definition text.
CHECK_OPTION	varchar(7)	Type of WITH CHECK OPTION. Is CASCADE if the original view was created by using the WITH CHECK OPTION. Otherwise, NONE is returned.
IS_UPDATABLE	varchar(2)	Specifies whether the view is updatable. Always returns NO.
