Answer 1

How often do you need to refresh the view? I have a similar case where the new data comes once a month; then I have to load it, and during the loading processes I have to create new tables. At that moment I alter my view to consider the changes. I used as base the information in this other question:

Create View Dynamically & synonyms

In there, it is proposed to do it 2 ways:

1. using synonyms.
2. Using dynamic SQL to create view (this is what helped me achieve my result).
