EXPERIMENT NO : 07
AIM:​​ ​SQL commands to perform views and triggers.

THEORY:
A view can contain all rows of a table or select rows from a table. A view can be created from one or
many tables which depends on the written SQL query to create a view.
Views, which are a type of virtual tables allow users to do the following −
1)Structure data in a way that users or classes of users find natural or intuitive.
2)Restrict access to the data in such a way that a user can see and (sometimes) modify exactly
what they need and no more.
3)Summarize data from various tables which can be used to generate reports.

SQL CREATE VIEW Statement:

In SQL, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL statement.


A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a view are fields from one or more
real tables in the database.
You can add SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements to a view and present the data as if the data
were coming from one single table.
CREATE VIEW Syntax:

CREATE VIEW view_name AS


SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

Then, we can query the view as follows:

​ ROM​ [​Current​ Product List];


SELECT​ * F

OUTPUT:

SQL Dropping a View


You can delete a view with the DROP VIEW command.
SQL DROP VIEW Syntax:

​ IEW​ view_name;
DROP​ V

OUTPUT:
The table will be deleted.

CONCLUSION:

Hence SQL commands to perform views and triggers implemented successfully. We learnt about the
concept of views and triggers and created various views for a table in the database and successfully
executed queries on them.
