Ouch. I hope you weren't trying to hurt my feelings there, Bernard. You know almost NOTHING about my background, so you're making a huge number of assumptions. I encourage you to go to my programming blog, where all my ignorance is revealed. My point was that I have never used views and wanted to know of circumstances when they were appropriate. You're probably right that 9+ years of exposure to MySQL, Postgres and some Oracle mixed in there as well gives me no real sql/database background. Perhaps you can help us lowly mortals understand views. It's probably just ignorance on my part, as I'm just a lowly developer not a sooperdooper DBA like yourself. As for feeling "constrained by the Framework", well, maybe I'm an idiot, but it seems to me that when you use a framework you are accepting a bunch of rules on how to build you application. It's called "convention over configuration" and many, many people smarter than you (yes, I'm as shocked as you that those people do exist) seem to do just fine with the constraints of a framework and create well-designed applications.
