A view is a virtual table made up of data from base
tables and other views, but not stored separately.

CREATE VIEW GOOD1_SUPPLIERS
AS SELECT S#, STATUS, CITY
FROM S
WHERE STATUS > 15;
SELECT * FROM GOOD1_SUPPLIERS;
---------+---------+---------+---------+-----------
SELECT * FROM GOOD1_SUPPLIERS;
---------+---------+---------+---------+-----------
S# STATUS CITY
---------+---------+---------+---------+---

Answer / om yadav
after a table is created and populated with data, it may
become necessary to prevent all users from accessing all
column of a table, for data security reasons.
To reduce redundant data to the minimum possible, allows the
creation of an object called VIEW.
Define:= A VIEW is mapped , to a select sentence. The SELECT
clause consists of a sub-set of the columnb of the table.
thus a view , which is mapped to a table, will in effect
have a sub-set of the actual column of the table from which
it is bulit.
This technique offers a simple, effective way of hiding
column of the table.
