What is a View?What are the advantages of having a view?

A view is a tailored presentation of the data contained in one or more tables or other views.
A view takes the output of a query and treats it as a table.
Therefore a view can be thought of as a stored query of a virtual table.
Unlike a table,a view is not allocated any storage space,nor does a view actually contain data.
Rather a view is defined by a query that extracts or derives data from the tables that the view references.
These tables are called base tables.Base tables can be actual tables or can be views themselves.
