How is a SQL view created?

To create a SQL view, you use the CREATE VIEW statement.

The general syntax of a CREATE VIEW statement is as follows:

Define a view named “view_name” that includes columns column1, column2, etc. from the table “table_name” based on a specified condition.

In this case, view_name is the name of the view, column1, column2, … are the columns included in the view, table_name is the table on which the view is based, and condition is the optional filtering condition.

By executing the CREATE VIEW statement, you can create a virtual table that is a subset of rows and columns selected from one or more base tables. Views can simplify complex queries and provide secure access to data.
