Description

nice to see some activity and innovation and the rails eco system ! (stumbled on your gem collection)

does your gem support schema evolution? meaning what if the view definition changes but there are other databas views that depend on this view. with scenic we can manage this by removing all dependent views, changing the view and redefining the dependent views.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate whether the sql view gem currently supports cascading schema updates for dependent views. If not, propose a mechanism to handle dependency ordering when altering view definitions.
