The temporary view was intended to enrich the streaming table with constraints, but the implementation was incorrect, so the constraints never worked (as noted in the comment). Creating the temporary view and using it to create the streaming table also caused incompatible schema errors when the source schema evolved and significantly slowed down model creation, leading to unnecessary costs.

Resolves #1303
Description
The temporary view was intended to enrich the streaming table with constraints, but the implementation was incorrect, so the constraints never worked (as noted in the comment).
Creating the temporary view and using it to create the streaming tabl caused incompatible schema errors when the source schema evolved and significantly slowed down model creation, leading to unnecessary compute costs.
