How To See Existing Views?

If you want to know how many views you have created in a database, you use the system view called sys.views to get a list of views defined in the current database. The tutorial exercise shows you how many views in database FyiCenterData:

USE FyiCenterData;
GO

CREATE VIEW fyi_links_view AS
   SELECT * FROM fyi_links;
GO

SELECT * FROM sys.views;
GO
name            object_id   schema_id  type type_desc 
--------------- ----------- ---------- ---- ----------
fyi_links_view  1189579276  1          V    VIEW      
fyi_links_top   1205579333  1          V    VIEW
