Subqueries and Views

Views in SQL are like virtual tables that have rows and columns. There are two main types of views: simple views that are created from a single table and complex views that are created by joining multiple tables. Simple views cannot include NOT NULL columns from the base table. Views can be used to select, insert, update, and delete data while providing security and abstraction. Subqueries are queries nested within other SQL queries that are used to filter or compare data.
