1. Определить зависимости представления

WITH RECURSIVE view_dependencies AS (
    -- Начинаем с document_details
    SELECT 
        c.oid AS view_oid,
        c.relname AS view_name,
        n.nspname AS schema_name,
        NULL::text COLLATE "C" AS depends_on -- явная коллация
    FROM pg_class c
    JOIN pg_namespace n ON c.relnamespace = n.oid
    WHERE c.relkind = 'v' -- Только представления
        AND c.relname = 'document_details'

    UNION ALL

    -- Находим представления, зависящие от текущего списка
    SELECT 
        v.oid AS view_oid,
        v.relname AS view_name,
        n.nspname AS schema_name,
        d.view_name COLLATE "C" AS depends_on -- явная коллация
    FROM pg_class v
    JOIN pg_namespace n ON v.relnamespace = n.oid
    JOIN pg_views pv ON pv.schemaname = n.nspname AND pv.viewname = v.relname
    JOIN view_dependencies d ON pv.definition ILIKE '%' || d.view_name || '%'
    WHERE v.relkind = 'v' -- Только представления
)
SELECT * FROM view_dependencies;

2.Сохранить текущие скрипты создания представлений

SELECT format('CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW %I.%I AS %s;', 
              n.nspname, c.relname, pg_get_viewdef(c.oid, true)) AS create_script
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_namespace n ON c.relnamespace = n.oid
WHERE c.relkind = 'v' 
    AND n.nspname = 'public'
    AND c.relname IN ('document_details', 'author_documents');

3. Получить корректный порядок удаления

WITH RECURSIVE dependencies AS (
    SELECT 
        c.oid,
        c.relname AS object_name,
        n.nspname AS schema_name,
        'VIEW' AS object_type,
        NULL::text AS depends_on
    FROM pg_class c
    JOIN pg_namespace n ON c.relnamespace = n.oid
    WHERE c.relkind = 'v' 
        AND c.relname = 'document_details'

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 
        d.refobjid AS oid,
        c.relname AS object_name,
        n.nspname AS schema_name,
        'VIEW' AS object_type,
        d.objid::regclass::text AS depends_on
    FROM pg_depend d
    JOIN pg_class c ON d.refobjid = c.oid
    JOIN pg_namespace n ON c.relnamespace = n.oid
    WHERE d.classid = 'pg_class'::regclass
        AND d.refclassid = 'pg_class'::regclass
        AND c.relkind = 'v'
)
SELECT format('DROP VIEW IF EXISTS %I.%I CASCADE;', schema_name, object_name) AS drop_script
FROM dependencies
ORDER BY object_type DESC;

4. Удалить полученным скриптом из п.3 представление

DROP VIEW IF EXISTS public.document_details CASCADE;
