    View is a result of a query saved in DB. View is used when we have to give access to limited amount of data. We can give permission to query a view for a table while denied access to the original table. It acts as a security measure.We can insert,update,delete an updatable view only. Read-only views are not updatable.

    Yes, View Is Virtual table. It has two types 1.simple view 2.complex view . In simple view We create view on single base table That's why we can perform all DML operations.it also called as Updatable view. But In case of Complex view We create view on multiple base tables that's why we cannot perform DML operations It is ReadOnly View (Only Select Operation).

    A view is a collections of different tables or different schemas data in a one table . Yes we can perform CRUD operations in a basic view i.e single table view but if its a complex view we cant perform those CRUD operations

    Yes it is possible. However, you need to use instead of trigger to decide to which table the data would be pushed or deleted or needs to be modified.

    View is a Mirror or Specific data which is retrieved from tables by using saved sql query during run time. view is physically not present in database so it saves memory and also time,it improves performs because of it is bunch of necessary records so operations are quickly performed. view have two types Simple and Complex . in Simple view contains data of only one table so it is possible to perform DML commands like insert update delete. Complex View Contains Multiple Tables Data hence it is not possible to perform DML command on this view.

    Yes, Possible but only when we create the View of One table, Means for Simple View you can perform Insert,Update and Delete also but in Complex View you Can't Means a View which is created by More then two Tables. And one more thing Views have no Physical appearance so it doesn't take any memory.

    If you have a complex join in multiple tables and you want to use this join again and again then you need to write complex query again again to resolve such type of problems we create view.in View we can apply CRUD only in one table

    View are virtual tables that are compiled at runtime. Data associated with the views are not physically stored in view, they are present in base tables. In SQL Server we create view for security purpose as it restricts user to view columns actually present in the base tables. We can insert, update and delete data from simple view only when we have primary key and all not null fields are in view. We cannot insert/delete data in complex view we can only update it.

    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.Yes we can update view, if :- if view is created on a single table - if view contains the primary key field - if view contains all the not null fields of underlying tables - if view query doesn't contain group by or any aggregated field.

    A view can be defined as a virtual table or a stored query and the data accessible through a view is not stored in the database as a distinct object. Only the select statement is stored on the database instead.How ever views can be used and perform DML operations (Insert, Update & Delete) also.

    View is simply a combination of two or more tables/view to get new results without creating a new table. Example: You have person table (personId,personName,SchoolId), SchoolTable(SchoolId,SchoolName,SchoolRanking,CityId) and CityTable(CityId,CityName,CityPopulation) You want to display PersonsName, SchoolsName and CityName where school is located. To do so you create a view, which basically combines information from 3 different tables to get values as a new temporary table. Yes you can create, update, and delete a view.

    In SQL Server, View is also like other database object but it doesn't have any physical existence, following are the two types of views based on creation of a view.Simple View :-- when we create a view on single table, we can do CRUD operations on this view and those reflects on a associated table.Complex View -- when we create a view on more than one table, can't do all CRUD operations, we can apply only select clause on this type of views.Any changes like drop table, rename table , any alterations in table will effect on View

    View is a virtual table. view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. we create view with the help of one and more tables data, which is basically use for security, so any user can't access directly any database table. Yes we can insert,Update and delete, if a view is not complex(means view should not create by multiple tables). View performance is slow as query run through view, first fire on view then respective tables.

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.

    Yes ,we can insert update and delete from view .For Example - First we create a employee table like :CREATE TABLE Employee(Emp_ID INT,Emp_NAME VARCHAR(50),Emp_Age Numeric(18,0) )Now we create a view for insert data but we can not pass directly insert command inside view because view does not allow Insert keyword .so we can use this proceure : CREATE VIEW [dbo].[V_Employee] AS SELECT Emp_ID, Emp_NAME, Emp_Age FROM EmployeeNow finally we can pass the value :INSERT INTO V_Employee SELECT 1,'NAVYA',19Yes ,we can insert update and delete from view .For Example - First we create a employee table like :CREATE TABLE Employee(Emp_ID INT,Emp_NAME VARCHAR(50),Emp_Age Numeric(18,0) )Now we create a view for insert data but we can not pass directly insert command inside view because view does not allow Insert keyword .so we can use this proceure : CREATE VIEW [dbo].[V_Employee] AS SELECT Emp_ID, Emp_NAME, Emp_Age FROM EmployeeNow finally we can pass the value :INSERT INTO V_Employee SELECT 1,'NAVYA',19

    A view can contain all rows of a table or select rows from a table. A view can be created from one or many tables which depends Requirmentwe cant perform curd operations on view because it is not main table it is imaginary table if we try to do curd operations it will through exception like View or function 'PersonDetails(view Name)' is not updatable because the modification affects multiple base tables.

    view is nothing but a table. Like creating another table to the main table. Why to create ? For security purpose. For example : A bank application table as Name , BankAccount, PinNumber. Here PinNumber is privacy. So, the developers can know the pin number while wornkig on table. So, we can create a view to the main table with Necessary columns as, Name, BankAccountNo. Only by securing PinNumber.All the modications we can made on view are reflected on the main table too.
