What are some of the benefits of using Views in a Database Management System?

Answer»

The following are some of the advantages of employing views in a database management system:

  • A view can REPRESENT a subset of a table's data. As a result, a view can limit the extent to which the underlying tables are visible to the outside world: for example, a user may be ABLE to QUERY the view but not the entire base database.
  • Views are aggregated tables in which the database engine aggregates data (sum, average, and so on) and shows the resulting results alongside the data.
  • Using views, we may merge and simplify several tables into a single virtual table.
  • Views take up very little storage SPACE; the database just stores the view's specification, not a copy of all the data it displays.
  • The COMPLEXITY of data can be obscured by views.
  • Views can provide additional protection depending on the SQL engine being used.
