I have a question about view management...

I often have need for views that reference views that reference
views, and so on. When I need to make a small update to one of
the views, I am faced with having to drop and recreate all
dependent views even if the driving change just adds another
column to the view, for example. I might have to drop and
recreate many tens of views just to make a change to a single
view. What a PITA. How do others manage this?

TIA.
Ed
