source of the larger view and execute the operation in the second
data source. When a query involving a data movement is
executed, the Execution Engine does the following…

specified schema:
2. The user will be alerted that the change to 'View A' will affect 'View B', and
'View B' will be marked as invalid.

7. If the implementation of an Interface view does not provide one

of the fields, what is the status of this interface?
3. It will be an interface with the status 'Invalid' because the
implementation does not match the schema of the interface.

York. Its locale configuration is us_est. There is an Oracle server
located in San Francisco, and there is a table with a timestamp. A
Scheduler job inserts in the timestamp field the date at midnight
(e.g 05/26/2015 00:00:00). The base view which imports the table
has the locale configuration set to 'us_pst' The developer team is

49. We have a JDBC data source and a base view over a table, and
one of the fields is a date type. We configure the i18n for that
specific base view (Advanced settings > search methods > i18n)
and we select 'us_pst'. The configuration of the Virtual DataPort
admin tool (Tools > Admin Tool preferences > locale) has the
same i18n selected: 'us_pst'. If we execute a query over that base
