Retrieving the KQL definition of a materialized view in the KQL database explorer

[pmscorca]

Hi,

I've need to modify some KQL materialized views, but I cannot find how I could retrieve the related KQL code inside the KQL database explorer.

Does it exist a manner to retrieve the definition of a KQL materialized view, please? Thanks

You can use the 

.show materialized-view <viewname>

to get the KQL statement behind the view and also status of the view.

Hi, ok but it is a KQL statement and not a feature of KQL database explorer.

Correct - you need to do it by code

Hi @pmscorca ,

If you want to modify your KQL materialized views, you can use this command:

.create-or-alter materialized-view

Please check this document:

For other commands, check these links:

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I've already read the documentatio about create or alter a materialized view but I'd like to find a manner in the KQL database explorer to retrieve the materialized view definition like f.e. it is possible for a view in a warehouse. Thanks
