For db2 UDB I need to get dependency information for views.

What I'm looking for is the tables that have the source information for
the view.


i.e. : if the following view was defined in my database:


create view my_view as
select parent_id, son_id
from parent A, son B
where A.parent_id = B.parent_id


Is there any way that starting from my_view I can get the information
that parent and son are the tables that are actually the source tables
for the data that make up the view?


Another *different* question is how can I get the code that generates
the view (the select query above). But please note that this will *not*

solve my problem, I am working in a programmatic environment so I can't

"parse" a bunch of SQL to find out which ones are the source tables.

What I need is a result set that contains the table names of 'parent'
and 'son' (referring to the example). Ideally, something like:


SQL> [magic query involving my_view];


TABLE
------
parent
son

What is the magic query?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
