What is a view?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

A VIEW is a virtual table, through which a selective portion of the data from one or more tables can be seen. A view do not contain data of their own. They are used to restrict access to the database or to hide data complexity. A view is stored as a SELECT statement in the database. DML operations on a view like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE affects the data in the original table upon which the view is based.

The Syntax to create a sql view is:
CREATE VIEW view_name
AS
SELECT column_list
FROM table_name [WHERE condition];

• view_name is the name of the VIEW.
• The SELECT statement is used to define the columns and rows that you want to display in the view.
