Documentation
Definition
A view is a logical view on one or more tables, that is, a view is not actually physically stored, instead being derived from one or more other tables.
In the simplest case, this derivation process can involve simply suppressing the display of one or more fields from a table (projection) or transferring only certain records from a table to the view (selection). More complicated views can be assembled from several tables, with individual tables being linked using the relational join operation.
Use
Logical views for the application permitting direct access to the data can be generated with the definition of view. The structure of such a view is defined by specifying the tables and fields involved in the view.
