According to CREATE VIEW (Transact-SQL):When a view is created, information about the view is storedin the following catalog views: sys.views, sys.columns, and sys.sql_expression_dependencies.
Information that is stored in system tables also consumes space...
Of course it does. You explained :w00t:
…minimal space required for the CREATE VIEW statement…
That is the space for the CREATE VIEW statement. That is stored in the sys.sql_modules catalog view. What I'm going after is that extra information is also stored in other catalog views. Not just the CREATE statement.
