SQL SQL Views

A view is a virtual table created by a SQL query on one or more tables. Views can be created using the CREATE VIEW statement, specifying a view name and SELECT query. Views behave like tables but do not store data physically. Views can be updated using CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW and dropped using DROP VIEW.

SQL: VIEWS

A view is, in essence, a virtual table. It does not physically exist. Rather, it is created by a query joining one or more
tables.

Creating a VIEW

The syntax for creating a VIEW is:

CREATE VIEW view_name AS


SELECT columns
FROM table
WHERE predicates;

For example:

CREATE VIEW sup_orders AS


SELECT suppliers.supplier_id, orders.quantity, orders.price
FROM suppliers, orders
WHERE suppliers.supplier_id = orders.supplier_id
and suppliers.supplier_name = 'IBM';

This would create a virtual table based on the result set of the select statement. You can now query the view as
follows:

SELECT *
FROM sup_orders;

Updating a VIEW

You can update a VIEW without dropping it by using the following syntax:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS


SELECT columns
FROM table
WHERE predicates;
