Why doesn't the "cascade" work as expected when dropping a view in RW?

I tried to drop a view using drop view accounts cascade; but received an error about other relations depending on it. Why is this happening?

  • When dropping a view in RW using cascade, it will only drop the view itself if there are no other dependent relations.
  • In this case, the error occurred because there were other materialized views depending on the view accounts that you were trying to drop.
  • To successfully drop the view, you need to first drop the downstream materialized views that depend on it.
