    <createView  catalogName="cat"  
            encoding="UTF-8"  
            fullDefinition="false"

            schemaName="public"  
            viewName="v_person">select id, name from person where id > 10</createView>  
</changeSet>

Using the path attribute is an alternative to selectQuery:

<changeSet  author="liquibase-docs"  id="createView-example">  
    <createView  catalogName="cat"  
         encoding="UTF-8"   
	     path="A String"
