What are Views, how they were useful. Types of Views

Answer Posted / uma mb

Views are basically a join of two or more underlying
database tables. Certain tables are logically related and
make sense and more meaning when viewed linked together.
Instead os making these joins at runtime and increasing
overheads, views when existing can provide information
readily such as in Search Helps in data entry screens.

Another example is when there is a table with many fields
and it does not make a lot of sense to see all of them
together everytime, it is better we project only certain
columns that we want to see.

There are four types of views:
a) Database View (Generally used a a read only view)
b) Maintenance View (Used as a means to maintain the
underlying tables participating in the view)
c) Projection View (Single table view)
d) Help View (used in 'search helps' got by pressing F4)
