Does disabling a views features module remove the view from the DB Inherited a site with 3 features modules, one is just a collection of views. i disabled it in the features interface. expecting it to disable all the views that were defined in that features module. but nothing happened... the site is huge (full publishing house)

I disabled it because theme hooks were not being applied think this has something to do with the way features is implemented.

I would like to know if once you've imported a views only features module it is imported to the db. and i can continue believing that i've broken nothing.
Disabling features will not disable all views in that features.
Feature is only used to export configurations,views etc to avoid manual work. You need to disable view from its UI page.
