A few things aren"t allowed in a query that defines a view

A view definition cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause of the SQL statement.

User, system, or local variables are not allowed in the SQL SELECT statement.

Views can"t point at temporary tables.

Triggers cannot be associated with a view.

Views created within stored procedures can"t reference parameters in the stored procedure.

Creating Views

Creating a view requires a view name and a SQL statement:

Once the view is created, you can query it in the same way as any other table.

The CREATE statement:



   <source lang="sql">

CREATE [OR REPLACE] [<algorithm attributes>] VIEW [database.]< name> [(<columns>)] AS <SELECT statement> [<check options>]</source>


Using a GROUP BY Clause to Create a View

   <source lang="sql">
