Creating Views on Tables

A view is something like a window into a table. It is a logical structure that derives its data from other tables which can be tables or other views. Views are normally used for making it easy for accessing certain data and for hiding other pieces of data. A view does not store data, rather it shows the data of the table. The command for creating a view on a table is:

Listing 2

CREATE VIEW viewdemo AS
SELECT demo_id, demo_name, demo_address
FROM demo
WHERE demo_id >10;

Views can be built from simple queries that select only a subset of a table or they can be built from join query operating on multiple tables. But it is not possible to modifying a view after creating it, though it can be replaced.

Is there are reason you did not cover all data types? Also why do you consider those you listed as important? It would have been nice to see TIMESTAMP, BLOB, and etc... There are also data types releveant to PL/SQL: binary_double, binary_float, dec, decimal, and more...

Hello Mr Tired. First of all if this article was not of your use why did you read it. There are people for whom this knowledge is important. May not be for you. And second I dont think there is anything on internet that are not found on books. Internet and books are just two alternative mediums to gain knowledge.
Thanks Abhinash Jena for providing fundamentals of Oracle in this article.

ASP Alliance is losing it as per me. They are publishing useless articles. This information can be found in any book. Whats the use in these kind of articles. Nothing against the author but asp alliance should promote some advanced articles.
