Altering Views with T-SQL
The ALTER VIEW syntax follows:
ALTER VIEW [ schema_name . ] view_name [ ( column [ ,...n ] ) ][ WITH <view_attribute> [ ,...n ] ]AS select_statement [ ; ][ WITH CHECK OPTION ]<view_attribute> ::={ [ ENCRYPTION ] [ SCHEMABINDING ] [ VIEW_METADATA ]}

Altered views retain their associated permissions and do not affect dependent stored procedures or triggers.
An example of the ALTER VIEW statement follows:
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[vw_employee] ...
