In SQL, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL statement. A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a view are fields from one or more real tables in the database. You can add SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements to a view and present the data as if the data were coming from one single table. CREATE VIEW Syntax CREATE VIEW view_name AS SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table_name WHERE condition; SQL CREATE VIEW Examples The following SQL creates a view that shows all customers from Brazil: Example CREATE VIEW [Brazil Customers] AS SELECT CustomerName, ContactName FROM Customers WHERE Country = "Brazil" ;
