Explanation of Solution

A view is an individual user’s or application program’s picture of a database. View is used by an individual to create charts, reports and other objects with the help of data in database.

The SELECT command used in the View creation basically creates the view and gives the definition for the view. It indicates what to include in a view. The data described in a view definition never exists in that form. In fact, when a query is created with a view, the DBMS make changes to the query and make it to the one that includes the data selection from the tables that created the view. There is less involvement of view than the full database.

Accessing a database through a view, the users cannot make any changes to the structure of the database and can only view the data.
