Views can be considered as virtual tables. Generally speaking, a table has a set of definition, and it physically stores the da
SQL IN
has a set of definitions, which is build on top of table(s) or other view(s), and it does not physically store the data.
SQL BETWEEN
SQL Wildcard The syntax for creating a view is as follows:
SQL LIKE
SQL ORDER BY CREATE VIEW "VIEW_NAME" AS "SQL Statement";
SQL GROUP BY
SQL HAVING "SQL Statement" can be any of the SQL statements we have discussed in this tutorial.
SQL ALIAS
SQL AS Let's use a simple example to illustrate. Say we have the following table:
SQL SELECT UNIQUE
Table Customer
SQL JOIN
SQL INNER JOIN Column Name Data Type
SQL OUTER JOIN
First_Name char(50)
SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN
Last_Name char(50)
SQL CROSS JOIN
Address char(50)
SQL INSERT INTO
City char(50)
SQL INSERT INTO SELECT
SQL UPDATE Country char(25)
SQL DELETE FROM Birth_Date datetime

Advanced SQL and we want to create a view called V_Customer that contains only the First_Name, Last_Name, and Country columns from
SQL UNION would type in,
SQL UNION ALL
SQL Inline View CREATE VIEW V_Customer
SQL INTERSECT AS SELECT First_Name, Last_Name, Country
SQL MINUS FROM Customer;
SQL LIMIT
SQL TOP Now we have a view called V_Customer with the following structure:
SQL Subquery
View V_Customer
SQL EXISTS
SQL CASE
Column Name Data Type
SQL DECODE
First_Name char(50)
SQL AUTO INCREMENT
Last_Name char(50)
SQL IDENTITY
Country char(25)
SEQUENCE & NEXTVAL

SQL Functions We can also use a view to apply joins to two tables. In this case, users only see one view rather than two tables, and the S
SQL Average users need to issue becomes much simpler. Let's say we have the following two tables:
SQL COUNT
SQL MAX Table Store_Information
SQL MIN
Store_Name Sales Txn_Date
SQL SUM
SQL ROUND Los Angeles 1500 Jan-05-1999
San Diego 250 Jan-07-1999
String Functions
Los Angeles 300 Jan-08-1999
SQL CAST
Boston 700 Jan-08-1999
SQL CONVERT
SQL CONCATENATE
Table Geography
SQL SUBSTRING
SQL INSTR Region_Name Store_Name
SQL TRIM East Boston

and we want to build a view that has sales by region information. We would issue the following SQL statement:

CREATE VIEW V_REGION_SALES

AS SELECT A1.Region_Name REGION, SUM(A2.Sales) SALES
FROM Geography A1, Store_Information A2
WHERE A1.Store_Name = A2.Store_Name
GROUP BY A1.Region_Name;

This gives us a view, V_REGION_SALES, that has been defined to store sales by region records. If we want to find out the c
view, we type in,

SELECT * FROM V_REGION_SALES;

Result:

REGION SALES
East 700
West 2050
