==SQL Views after restore==__NOEDITSECTION__
Since the views may build on other views it is not possible to know in which order they should be restored. Therefore the Restore functionality restores the SQL views as tables and after the restore is complete convert them to SQL views. If you still see any of your SQL views as tables after the restore, there is something wrong with your SQL views. The most common errors are:
* the SQL views are created / owned by another user than imsma
* the SQL syntax is not correct
* the SQL view is referring to another SQL view that does not exist anymore.
