Hi, I used the following commands in a script in order to change many view descriptions at the same time: ``` #For base views ALTER TABLE <base_view> ( ALTER COLUMN <column_name> ADD (DESCRIPTION = '<your description>') ); #For derived views ALTER VIEW <view_name> ( ALTER COLUMN <column_name> ADD (DESCRIPTION = '<your description>') ) ``` You can create your own script by using one of these VQL statements for each of your columns and substituting the corresponding view name, field name, and description text into the statement. For more information about modifying views with VQL, you can refer to this similar [Q&A question](https://community.denodo.com/answers/question/details?questionId=9060g000000XetMAAS&title=Update+view+descriptions+and+columns+descriptions+Automatically). I hope this helps!
