Database Administration Fundamentals (SF16SQL10002) – Day 6

We have covered views finishing most of section two.

In a database management system, a view is a way of portraying information in the database. This can be done by arranging the data items in a specific order, by highlighting certain items, or by showing only certain items. For any database, there are a number of possible views that may be specified. Databases with many items tend to have more possible views than databases with few items. Often thought of as a virtual table, the view doesn’t actually store information itself, but just pulls it out of one or more existing tables. Although impermanent, a view may be accessed repeatedly by storing its criteria in a query.
