A view is nothing more than a stored SELECT statement. Basically, when you prepare a statement like select * from ViewName; it is rewritten as select * from (select * from UnderlyingTable); and then the result of such rewriting is parsed and processed as usual. -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
