name: snowflake-create-view description: Consult Snowflake CREATE VIEW parameter reference before generating any CREATE VIEW DDL.

Before writing a CREATE VIEW statement:

1. Read references/parameters.md to review all available parameters and their defaults.
2. For each parameter, decide whether the user's request implies a non-default value.
3. Include only the parameters that differ from the default or that the user explicitly requested — do not bloat the DDL with unnecessary clauses.
4. Never use CREATE OR REPLACE — always use CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS.
5. Add the SECURE keyword only when the user explicitly needs to restrict access to the view definition (e.g. hiding business logic from non-privileged users).
6. Use TEMPORARY/TEMP/VOLATILE only when the view is needed for session-scoped intermediate work; it will be dropped automatically at session end.
7. Use RECURSIVE only when the SELECT statement needs to reference the view itself (self-referencing query); provide an explicit column list when RECURSIVE is used.
8. Enable CHANGE_TRACKING = TRUE only when the user needs to create a stream on this view or track row-level changes.
9. Views share the namespace with tables — a view and a table cannot have the same name within a schema.
10. The SELECT statement is limited to 95 KB; all columns derived from expressions must be given explicit aliases.
