Description

Currently when trying to create a view that contains another view (a prohibited operation) the exception is:

FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Invalid Table Alias Referencing view from foreign databases is not supported.

'Twould be better if this message included the view that caused the error so that when building views from lots of tables, one doesn't need to hunt to figure out which one was the actual view.
