i am a beginner in SQL.
I have created a SQL View using the below script

CREATE VIEW view_cat AS
SELECT *
FROM Categories
WHERE CategoryName
in('Seafood')

Then i tried to update the view using the below script.

Create view [view_cat] AS
SELECT *
FROM Categories
WHERE CategoryName
in('Seafood') and [description]='tuna'

But it is not working. i am getting the error
"There is already an object named 'view_cat' in the database."
i also tried using replace view. That is also not working.

Please advise.

Thanks and Regards,

Ann
