I think it was the example from ...
Well, the syntax was
 CREATE VIEW my_view(column1, column2, column3) AS
 SELECT t1 * m2, c2, j FROM my_table1
 UNION ALL
 SELECT m2, c3, n FROM my_table2;
instead of:
 CREATE VIEW my_view AS
 SELECT t1 * m2 AS column1, c2 AS column2, j AS column3 FROM my_table1
 UNION ALL
 SELECT m2, c3, n FROM my_table2;
 
Hope this helps,
