Example

Say we create the table t3 in the public schema and a view v3.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t3 (
    v1 int,
    v2 int,
    v3 int)
WITH (appendonly = 'true');

CREATE VIEW v3 AS SELECT sum(v2) AS sum_v2 FROM t3;

Then we can use SHOW VIEWS to show the existing views.

SHOW VIEWS FROM public;

v3
