To finish the set off  with what has already been suggested    SELECT   FROM sys views   This gives extra properties on each view  not available from sys objects  which contains properties common to all types of object  or INFORMATION SCHEMA VIEWS  Though INFORMATION SCHEMA approach does provide the view definition out-of-the-box

Necromancing    Since you said ALL views  technically  all answers to date are WRONG   Here is how to get ALL views   SELECT       sch name AS view schema       sysv name AS view name       ISNULL sysm definition  syssm definition  AS view definition       create date       modify date  FROM sys all views AS sysv   INNER JOIN sys schemas AS sch      ON sch schema id   sysv schema id   LEFT JOIN sys sql modules AS sysm      ON sysm object id   sysv object id   LEFT JOIN sys system sql modules AS syssm      ON syssm object id   sysv object id   -- INNER JOIN sys objects AS syso ON syso object id   sysv object id   WHERE  1 1   AND  sysv type    V   -- seems unnecessary  but who knows -- AND sch name    INFORMATION SCHEMA      AND sysv is ms shipped   0   AND NOT EXISTS        SELECT   FROM sys extended properties AS syscrap     WHERE syscrap major id   sysv object id     AND syscrap minor id   0      AND syscrap class   1      AND syscrap name   N microsoft database tools support           ORDER BY       view schema       view name

Some time you need to access with schema name as an example you are using AdventureWorks Database you need to access with schemas    SELECT s name      v name FROM sys views v inner join sys schemas s on s schema id   v schema id

Run this adding DatabaseName in where condition     SELECT TABLE NAME  ROW NUMBER   OVER ORDER BY TABLE NAME  AS  RowNumber     FROM INFORMATION SCHEMA VIEWS    WHERE TABLE CATALOG    DatabaseName    or remove where condition adding use     use DataBaseName    SELECT TABLE NAME  ROW NUMBER   OVER ORDER BY TABLE NAME  AS  RowNumber     FROM INFORMATION SCHEMA VIEWS
