Thanks Andrej
for your replay

I have found out some of them n are as follows, but I want more reasons for not using views . I only got one

Advantages:

1) Permission to user can be given to access the database only through view containing specific data the user is authorized to see

2) View convert multiple table queries into single table queries

3)       Views give personalized view

4) Views provide consistent unchanged image even if the underlying table columns changed.



Disadvantages:



1) Performance : If a view is defined by complex multitable query,then simple query against that view becomes a coplecated join, and it may take a long time to complete

Hello All,
Hi,

Can anybody please point me to Advantages and Disadvantages
of using view
The most obvious advantage (for me, anyway) is to restrict which
columns a user can see in a table.

I'm sure there are others.
