Hello,
If I need to remove a column from the view output, I would create a **Selection** view over the base view by following the below steps. To create the view, I would use Design Studio rather than using the VQL Shell since the graphical view creation interface is very intuitive.
* In Design Studio, click the **File > New > Selection** menu or hover your mouse over the base view, click the vertical ellipses, and pick **New > Selection**.
* In the **Output** tab, choose the column you want to remove and click **Remove**.
* Click **Save** after giving a name for your new selection view.
You can refer to [**Creating Selection Views**](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/administration/creating_derived_views/creating_selection_views/creating_selection_views) in the Virtual DataPort Administration Guide for more details.
Hope this helps!
