Force is a keyword. It Forces The Creation Of A View Even When The View Will Be Invalid. NoForce Is The Default

eg: -- assuming the table xyz does not exist

CREATE FORCE VIEW view_force AS
SELECT * FROM xyz;

Its a feature in 10g

It has always seemed a tad strange to me that you have to force the creation of a view, if that view will be invalid, yet you don't have to force the creation of a procedure.

Work's in 9iR2 and 10gR1

use FORCE if you want to create the view regardless of whether the view's base tables or the referenced object types exist or the owner of the schema containing the view has privileges on them.

These conditions must be true before any SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements can be issued against the view

If the view definition contains any constraints, CREATE VIEW ... FORCE will fail if the base table does not exist or the referenced object type does not exist. CREATE VIEW ... FORCE will also fail if the view definition names a constraint that does not exist. (Enhencements on 10g)
