From a quick look I couldn't find which dialects in practice support this syntax? Do you have a link to documentation for one such dialect?
related the MR not super sure it would be necessary to have this behavior covered by a flag and the parser can always look to accept CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS v, as well as the other syntax if its relevant)

You're right, I couldn't find official documentation for this syntax, though we have confirmed it works in practice on Snowflake.
I'm happy to remove the dialect flag and update the parser to support both forms for all dialects. Let me know if you'd like me to proceed with that change.

Ah yeah in that case I think we can remove the dialect flags, not sure that we need to support both forms if CREATE VIEW v IF NOT EXISTS is not supported by any dialect

It's supported in snowflake, but not officially documented.

Ah alright, in that case yeah I think we could skip the dialect methods entirely and let the parser accept either format if they show up? Also we can add a comment flagging that the second format is supported by snowflake but is undocumented
…, also added ability to write view name before if not exists in snowflake as it is implemented, replaced dialect of with trait functions
…t exists supported by snowflake

Would it work to only put something like this line after we've parsed? name
let name_before_not_exists = !if_not_exists && self.parse_keywords(&[Keyword::IF, Keyword::NOT, Keyword::EXISTS]);
let if_not_exists = if_not_exists || name_before_not_exists;thinking if so that would let us avoid the if/else and mut

Can we add a test case for CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS AS SELECT 1 to verify how the parser behaves in that scenario?

we could say something descriptive like this?
