To create a view in MySQL, you can use the CREATE VIEW statement. For example, to create a view called customer_view, follow these steps:

CREATE VIEW customer_view AS
SELECT customer_id, name, email
FROM customers
WHERE status = 'active';

You can then use the SELECT statement to query the view, as shown below:

SELECT * FROM customer_view;

When querying a view, the SELECT statement from the view definition is actually being executed, and the result set is returned. Views can simplify complex query operations and provide a virtual table for accessing data.
