Hi,

I've got 2 views - each with identical column names. I want to create an
aggregate view of both tables as a new view. But when I try to do this I
understandably get errors on duplicate fields.

As an example:

CREATE VIEW gnis_view AS SELECT * FROM gnis_international_view,
gnis_usa_view;
ERROR:  column "the_geom" duplicated
ERROR:  column "the_geom" duplicated

Any ideas on how I can achieve what I am seeking?
Cheers,
dylan

Yes but you will have to specify each column name from each table and create aliases for the
duplicated columns.

Thanks,

Got it working with a UNION.
