Description:
A customer has requested that we perform a check when loading data, so that a view record cannot be created in the information_schema.views table if it attempts to insert a DEFINER value that does not already exist in the database.

This is related to several bugs (13331 and 16589), which may correct this behaviour, but if not, it may be useful.

How to repeat:
Basically, there is nothing to repeat.  It is just a feature request.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request. Now, in 5.0.34-BK, we have the following behaviour:

mysql> create definer='unknown'@'locahost' view vvuu as select 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)

mysql> show warnings\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
  Level: Note
   Code: 1449
Message: There is no 'unknown'@'locahost' registered
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> select version();
+--------------+
| version()    |
+--------------+
| 5.0.34-debug |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So, maybe we just need new SQL mode that will treat this as error, not simply as warning. Please, check is there is still any need to implement something related to this feature request.
