Creating SDE view in Feature Dataset

[PhanindraDulam]

I am trying to create SDE spatial views within a geodatabase's feature dataset.
Is it possible?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Yes, you can. By the way, I don't think the SDE spatial view is even aware of the GDB feature dataset.

What version of ArcGIS are you using?  Adding views to feature datasets was not supported as of 9.2. 

No ArcSDE command or API function will populate geodatabase metadata like feature dataset membership.
The only supported interface for this is ArcObjects (or ArcPy).

Sorry, I mis-understood the original question. I thought phani99 was trying to create a spatial view using a FC within a FD.

Sory for late reply..

My version is ArcGIS 9.3.1.

I want to create views on feature class within the Feature Dataset.

Like i am having "Test_DS" is Feature Dataset. Under Line1, Line2 Line3 are the Feature classes.
I want to create view on Line1 with Expresion (ColumnName = value)within the "Test_DS" dataset.

I am using ArcSDE Commands. "sdetable -o create_view"

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Phanindra,
here the way I did it (9.3.1). Use it carefully just to organize your spatial views into feature datasets. Adding even more precaution just devote the feature datasets to that purpose (storing only spatial views staying away from other feature classes, networks, topology and so on).
