See also INDBC(). Seems this searches the object by name, though.

>>I do not like so much to define the views in the DBC and to distribute the DBC.
>>Because of this, I define the view always in code in the program. But the problem here is performance: it takes quite some time. So I would like to check whether it is necessary to update the view definition: Does the view exist, has the view definition changed etc.
>>Especially whether the view exists I could not figure out in code.
>>If this is possible, then I just create the view when it does not exist, otherwise I do not need to create the view. And in the upgrade procedures (with a new version) I create all views again.

>>What is the syntax for checking whether a view exists?
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
