[ckan-dev] DataStore, DROP TABLE and recreate work, but DROP TABLE and recreate as VIEW fails.

[Ian Ward]

I think having postgres views as datastore resources would be great
and useful in a bunch of situations.  It's not supported by the
current datastore code (you've had to modify your datastore db
directly). Would you be interested in adding this as a datastore
feature with proper API calls and access checking?
