Status of VIEW after partitioning base table.

Question

Hi All,
I would like to know the status of the view when i perform Range partitioning on Base table???
I will be performing these below steps for partitioning:
1. Rename the Original base table.
2. Create new partitioned table by naming it as original table name.
3. Insert rows from Original table to partitioned table.
As from above steps i am renaming the original base table and creating Partitioned base table with the same original name.
Do VIEWS based on this table will refer to new partitioned table having same name, or do i need to re-create views???

View refers to NEW Partition TABLE on the same name... it's not the problem.. if you didn't rename delete add column_name.
SQL> create table a1 (id number);
Table created.
SQL> create view v_a1 as select * from a1;
View created.
SQL> desc v_a1;

ID                                  NUMBER
SQL> alter table a1 rename to a2;
Table altered.
SQL> desc v_a1;
