Additional Information

ArcGIS Desktop (including ArcGIS Engine and ArcObjects) is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026. Mature support means the end of functionality-based patches and hotfixes; therefore, this issue will not be addressed. There are no plans for future releases of ArcGIS Desktop, and it is recommended to migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrate

Workaround

- Create the view from the relational database management system (RDBMS) side. - Right-click the database connection in ArcCatalog > New > View. - Create the view using ArcSDESQLExecute. For example: import arcpy egdb = r"C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog\theconnection.sde" egdb_conn = arcpy.ArcSDESQLExecute(egdb) sql = ''' CREATE VIEW viewtest AS SELECT OBJECTID, 100/10 AS Price from DATAOWNER.TESTTABLE ''' egdb_return = egdb_conn.execute(sql) ArcSDESQLExecute: http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/analyze/arcpy-classes/arcsdesqlexecute.htm
