What are the advantages of using views?

• Simplifies Complex Queries: Views can encapsulate complex queries, making

them reusable and easier to manage.

• Data Abstraction: Views abstract the underlying table structure and allow for easier

access to the data without revealing the full database schema.

• Security: By granting access to a view instead of a table, you can restrict access to

sensitive data and only expose the columns or rows that are necessary.

• Consistency: A view can standardize how data is accessed across multiple queries

or applications, ensuring consistent results.

• Reduced Redundancy: Rather than writing the same complex query multiple times,

you can create a view to encapsulate it and reuse the view in different queries.
