Hi Kaniz:

This is what I understood from the research I did, I was curious more as to why permanent views can't be created from dataframes and whether this is a feature that might be implemented by Databricks or Spark at some point. Temporary views can be created, and permanent views exist, so it seems like there's an odd gap between the two that has a lot of utility if filled. It'd be different if dataframes just couldn't create any view, or if permanent views didn't exist at all. But maybe there's something I don't know.

Also, if you intended to link something I don't see a clickable link or anything in your message, unsure what pull request you're referencing.
