Hi Kumar,

VIEW : is a set of some columns from one or more table, to fetch data from a database. Also termed as vertual table.

ALIAS: is used to refer a table or a VIEW by alternative name.

Corrections welcome.

Regards,

Priyesh.

hai.... alias is an alternate name given to a base table. it helps us to refer the base tabel without the full qualifiers. view is going to be a window of the base tabel. it does reside separate whereas, my alias has a separate storage.


corrections welcomed.....
