A view is which of the following?
Answer: A
Correct answer: A virtual table that can be accessed via SQL commands
A view is a stored query that behaves like a table. It has a name, columns and rows, and can be queried with SELECT exactly as a table can - but it stores no data of its own, deriving its contents from the underlying tables each time it is referenced.
That is what "virtual" means here, and it is the difference from a base table, which does hold data. Views serve two purposes in practice: they hide complexity, presenting a join as a single object, and they restrict access, exposing only chosen rows and columns.
