A view contains rows and columns, a bit like a true table. The columns within the view are the columns from one or more real tables within the database. SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements also can be added to the view.

There are two ways to make a view in SQL Server:

By using SQL Server management studio UI.
By using SQL Server query statement.

By using SQL Server management studio UI

Open SQL Server Management Studio.

Here you see view. attend view and click on right.

Now you’ll see a page like this. Choose a table on which you would like to make a view. Here we select “Student” table.

Click on the add button.

A view is made .

By using SQL Server query statement.

Syntax:

CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

SQL Create VIEW Example

Let’s create a view named “Student_name” which contains all data from table “Student” where id is >3.

CREATE VIEW [Student_view] AS
SELECT id, name, age
FROM [tecklearn].[dbo].[Student]
WHERE id > 3;

Output:

View is made successfully.

You can verify that created view:

Now query the view:

```
SELECT * FROM [Student_view];
```

Output:

Update a View

You can update a view by using ALTER VIEW statement.

Syntax:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

Now add a column “fee” to the created view “Student_view” from the table “Student”. Use the subsequent statement:

ALTER VIEW [Student_view] AS
SELECT id, name, age, fee
FROM [tecklearn].[dbo].[Student]
WHERE id > 3;

Output:

You can see that view is updated successfully. Verify it by using SELECT statement:

Output:

SQL Server DROP a View

DROP VIEW command is employed to delete a view.

Syntax:

```
DROP VIEW view_name;
```

Example:

Let’s delete the view “Student_view”.

```
DROP VIEW [Student_view];
```

Output:

Now you’ll see that view is deleted.
