A production database can accumulate dozens or hundreds of views over time — many created by developers, some by tools, and some that are no longer used. Knowing what views exist, which schema they belong to, and what they actually do is essential for documentation, auditing, and cleanup.</p> <p>This SQL script queries <code>information_schema.views</code> to return every view in the current database, along with its schema and full SQL definition.</p>
