CREATE VIEW - script to automate column names?

Hi,

I'm trying to create views on all my existing tables and for that I'd
like to create a script or so.
I don't want to specify the '*' for the columns in the create view
statement. I prefer to specify the column names.
I have the column names int sys.columns table but Do not know how to
handle them to have a statement like that:

CREATE VIEW myVIEW
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT col1name, col2name, col3name, etc...
from sys.columns
....?????.....
Anyone can help?

thx,

Chris

Use a cursor to loop over the column names, all the while
concatenating a string variable. In the end, execute that string
(sp_executesql) and your view will be created.

Hi, I'm sure this is a common problem.. to create a single field from a whole column, where each row would be separated by a comma. I can do this for a specified table, and column.. and I've created a function using VBA to achieve a more dynamic (and very slow) solution.. so I would like to implement it using a user defined function in sql server.

Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open the view table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update the view table field.
