What is a view?
Rating:
A view is a logical representation of data from one or more tables. It is stored as a query (SELECT statement) in the data dictionary of Oracle. A view does not contain data of its own but derives (or dynamically displays) data from other tables or views on the basis of the query specified for the view. The tables from which a view derives data are known as base tables.
