Why do we use view instead of tables?

Question

Views can limit the degree of exposure of the underlying tables to the outer world: a given user may have permission to query the view, while denied access to the rest of the base table. 7 дек. 2010 г.

Why do we use views?

Views are used for security purposes because they provide encapsulation of the name of the table. Data is in the virtual table, not stored permanently. Views display only selected data. We can also use Sql Join s in the Select statement in deriving the data for the view.

What is the difference between a view and a table?

A table is structured with columns and rows, while a view is a virtual table extracted from a database. The table is an independent data object while views are usually depending on the table. The table is an actual or real table that exists in physical locations.

Which is faster view or table?
