Creating Database Views

See Also

The Database Explorer enables you to create SQL views that are part of the database itself and are available to application programs and other clients of the database.

To create views:

  1. In the Services window, expand the node for a connected database.
  2. Right-click Views and choose Create View.
  3. In the Create View dialog box, type the name of the view in the View Name text field.
  4. In the text area, enter the SQL (SELECT) statement that will define the new view and click OK. The IDE adds a node for the new view ( View node ) under the Views node for the database.

Once the view is saved, you can see the data it contains by right-clicking the view in the Services window and choosing View Data. Choose Execute Command to run an SQL command on this view.
