    view is aphysical object which stores data logically.
    the main thing is view does not take space in the disc.
    you can go for either view or select statment , but if we go for a view means we are selection from a prepared / availabele list of records.

    VIEW is a virtual table by which we can create a virtual table with columns from diff tables
    It makes retrival of data from diff table lot more easier

    Re: Difference between VIEWS and SELECT statements

    we know views are stored as select statement in database
    these are mainly useful to provide security to the data and to control the n/w traffic.
    in realtime views play the major role
