Views
A view is a way to look at the data in the database. Each database may have several views. Views are created by the designer of a database. A user with Reader access to the database dose not have the ability to change the views in the database.
A view is really a predefined query that performs two tasks:
• Selecting documents that meet specified criteria
• Sorting documents for presentation to the user
The data is not duplicated in each of these views; the views only provide different ways of viewing or organizing your data.
