Why views are used in SQL?

Question

Can anyone explain the use of views in SQL?

Answer 1

The view is a virtual table based on the result of the SELECT statement. Views are used to limit the visibility of data of the table to just those specific tasks. Also, the view is used for combining the data from multiple tables into a logical table. Views can be used to aggregate rows (using GROUP BY and HAVING) of a table with better detail. The view is used to summarize the data from multiple tables so that views can be used to generate reports.
