A view is a virtual table which means, whose rows are not explicitly stored in the database but computed as needed.

For ex: Consider a student and course relations. Suppose we are often interested in finding the names of students who have joined in a particular course, we can define a view for this purpose

CREATE VIEW myview (name, sid, course)
AS SELECT S.sname, S.sid, C.course
FROM student S, course C;
