    hi all,

    there are two classification of views simple and complex.

    a simple one that.
    --derives data from one table
    --contains no function or group of data
    --can perform DML operation thru the view

    a complex one that.
    --derives data from many tables
    --contains functions or groups of data
    --does not always allows DML operation

    As I know there are following three types of views
    1. simple views created by create or replace command
    2. inline views created while giving a select form table_name statement in from clause or column list or in where clause of a query
    3. materialized views used for data replication.

    Re: How many types of views are there?

    If u want the basic classification then u can go for

    1. Simple View
    based on a single table
    uses no functions or calcuations
    allows DML opeations
    2. Complex View
    based on multiple base table
    uses functions or calcuations or is readonly
    invilvs join.
    does not allows DML any opeations.
    3. Materialized View (Snapshot)

    this is mainly used for data replication

    In the first 2 types user have no control over data replication from the base table to the dependent view . This can be controlled by materialized view.
