Definition of a View

Sorry, this is probably something very obvious.

I created a View in MySQL some time ago, and now need to see the SELECT
statement that defines it. Is it possible to extract and see this query
in any way?

In the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database, query the table called views. The
TABLE_NAME is the view_name and the VIEW_DEFINITION is the SQL that
defines the view.
