Lab 10 VIEWS

OBJECTIVE:

Views Helps to encapsulate complex query and make it reusable.

Provides user security on each view - it depends on your data policy security.
Using view to convert units - if you have a financial data in US currency, you can create view
to convert them into Euro for viewing in Euro currency.
A view is nothing more than a SQL statement that is stored in the database with an associated
name. A view is actually a composition of a table in the form of a predefined SQL query.
A view can contain all rows of a table or selected rows from a table. A view can be created
from one or many tables which depends on the written SQL query to create a view.
Views, which are kind of virtual tables, allow users to do the following:
Structure data in a way that users or classes of users find natural or intuitive.
Restrict access to the data such that a user can see and (sometimes) modify exactly what they
need and no more.
ALGORITHM:
STEP 1: Start the DMBS.
STEP 2: Connect to the existing database (DB)
STEP 3: Create the table with its essential attributes.
STEP 4: Insert record values into the table.
STEP 5: Create the view from the above created table.
STEP 6: Display the data presented on the VIEW.
STEP 7: Insert the records into the VIEW,
STEP 8: Check the database object table and view the inserted values presented
STEP 9: Execute different Commands and extract information from the View.
STEP 10: Stop the DBMS.

COMMANDS EXECUTION
CREATION OF TABLE:
Database views are created using the CREATE VIEW statement. Views can be created from
a single table, multiple tables, or another view. To create a view, a user must have the
appropriate system privilege according to the specific implementation.

create database viewpractice (table)

CREATE TABLE EMP_VIEW(

EMP_ID INT NOT NULL,
EMP_NAME VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL,
DEPT_ID INT NOT NULL,
DEPT_NAME CHAR (25) ,
DATE_OF_JOIN DATE
);

Create view

CREATE VIEW EMP_NAME

AS
SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_NAME
FROM EMP_VIEW;

SELECT * FROM EMP_NAME;

CREATE VIEW EMP_DEPT_NOT_NULL

AS
SELECT EMP_ID, DEPT_ID
FROM EMP_DEPT
WHERE EMP_ID IS NOT NULL
WITH CHECK OPTION;

UPDATE EMP_NAME
SET EMP_ID = 35
WHERE EMP_NAME ='Ramesh';

DELETE FROM EMP_NAME

WHERE EMP_NAME = 'SAADIA';

DROP VIEW view_name;
