hi does somebody know if is it possible to create views of tables that do not exist yet? but that will exist at some point?
my problem is that I have a set os sprocedures that build views over tables that may not exist, I would like to see if it is possible to not having to create the base tables previously, right now even though the procedure that builds the underlying tables is declared and executed first in the .sql file, whn I try to run the script, the compiler complains because of the missing tables or fields, therefore I am looking for some sort of trick to fool the compiler temporarily

thank you

Nope, it will error out when you try to create it. Why not just create the empty table, and then drop and recreate when the time comes to populate it?
