I tried to see if this was already mentioned and did not see anything, so if a duplicate I apologize. Something I think would be awesome is the ability for the view selection criteria to be set based on values either from a DBLookup (though I see why this might be a bad idea), or better yet, a Profile Document and a value in a field there.
I currently have a database where views are dependent on the previous year, and unfortunately it is based on taxes so the years are generally from April 15th to April 15th so I cannot use @Year(@Today) - 1 or anything like that. What needs to happen is I manually (or right now we use tools as well) to change several (100+) view selections to meet the need. If I could do this based on the value in a Profile document, then I could just change the profile document and reindex the views and everything would be done.

Or you could just write an agent that goes and changes the view selection formulae once a year, it would save a lot of overhead.

@1 Matt, thanks for your feedback on the idea. I wonder though, would there really be that much overhead from a profile document value? Profile documents are memory resident, the foot print would be small. I can't see how this would be much different then a data view in a DB2NSF. They are created with "virtual SQL" code and the view perform quite well (from my understanding).

Obviously I am the only one that sees this as a necessity. I will get around to withdrawing the idea soon.
