The VIEW_DEFINITION column has most of what
you see in the Create Table field that
SHOW CREATE VIEW produces. Skip the words
before SELECT and skip the words
WITH CHECK OPTION. Suppose that the
original statement was:
CREATE VIEW v AS
SELECT s2,s1 FROM t
WHERE s1 > 5
ORDER BY s1
WITH CHECK OPTION;
Then the view definition looks like this:
SELECT s2,s1 FROM t WHERE s1 > 5 ORDER BY s1
