Views - Under the Hood

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings:

Lately, I've begun using views quite often especially when queries for various 
reports, etc. become complicated. I am now wondering if there is a price to 
pay in terms of overhead for this. In truth, I don't really understand how a 
view works. I know that it takes on many of the attributes of a table, but is 
it a table? Is the data pulled together when one selects from the view or is 
it maintained as a table all along. Guidance to the ignorant appreciated...
