Lab9-Implementation of Views

This document is a laboratory manual for a Database Systems course at ALQUDS University, focusing on the study and implementation of SQL views. It explains the concept of views as virtual tables, provides syntax for creating, updating, and dropping views, and includes practical assignments related to a schema involving sailors, boats, and reservations. The lab exercises aim to enhance understanding of SQL queries and data manipulation using views.

Lab#9: Study & Implementation of Views

Dr.Rushdi Hamammreh ,Eng.Roa AlQuttub 2025


Objective:
To understand the implementation of views.

Theory:
VIEW: 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. A view is a virtual table, which consists of a set of columns
from one or more tables. It is similar to a table, but it does not store in the database. View is a query
stored as an object.

Syntax:
CREATE VIEW <view name> AS SELECT <set of fields>
FROM relation_name WHERE (Condition)

Example:
CREATE VIEW employee AS SELECT empno,ename,job
FROM EMP
WHERE job = ‘clerk’;

Example:
CREATE VIEW v_sailors_reserved_101 AS
SELECT *
FROM Sailors
WHERE sid IN ( SELECT sid FROM Reserves WHERE bid = 101);

Updating A View : A view can updated by using the following syntax :

Syntax :
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition

Dropping A View: A view can deleted with the DROP VIEW command.

Syntax: DROP VIEW <view name> ;
