The database utility provides the functions Create database view, Delete database view and Activate and adjust database for editing database views. You can execute such a function by choosing a processing type and pressing the corresponding button.

• Create database view: A database view defined in the ABAP Dictionary is physically created in the database.
• Delete database view:: The database view is deleted from the database.
• Activate and adjust database:: The view is deleted from the database. The revised version of the view is activated and this version of it is created again in the database.

• Check consistency: You can compare the view definition in the database with the runtime object of the view with Extras ® Database object ® Check. You can compare the runtime object of the view with the information given in the ABAP Dictionary maintenance screen with Extras ® Runtime object ® Check. Both definitions are displayed. The differences found are highlighted. In both cases you can choose either a delta (only differences) or full (all information) display of the check results.
• Display the view definition in the database: You can list the definition of the view in the database with Extras ® Database object ® Display.
• Display the Runtime Object: You can list the information in the runtime object for the view with Extras ® Runtime object ® Display. You can get more information about interpreting the displayed data with the button.
