Note that, at least in older versions, MySQL completely materialized a temporary table from a view, then used that for the view. This is horribly inefficient, and results in a lot of people thinking views are slow. Not sure if this has been addressed in MySQL yet, don't really care anymore, since I rarely use mysql for anything anymore. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
