What is a View in SQL Server?
|
|
A View is something like a virtual table in SQL Server. A view is used just like a table, except that it does not contains any data of its own. Instead, a view is merely a preplanned mapping and representations of the data stored in tables. The plan is stored in the database in the form of query. This query calls for data from some, but not necessarily all, columns to be retrieved from one or more tables.
