A view is a named query. It is ?a tailored presentation of the data contained in one or more tables (or other views).? 
 
For SQL, view = a named or derived virtual table 
? For users, view = a table (which in fact does not exist!) 
? View ? a separate copy of an underlying table 
? View = a window into the underlying table 
? Changes can be done from both directions: 
underlying table ? view 
 
Views are created, dropped or granted access to, identical to a table.

A oracle view is only view the table columns which is defined before one or more join tables.A oracle view only read only we can't change in the oracle view.when we apply any query on the actual table then automatically change the oracle change. When we delete the actual table then delete the oracle view.
