Create a View, a virtual table that represents the data in one or more tables in an alternate way.
Syntax CREATE VIEW [schema.] view [ (column [,...n] ) ] [WITH [ENCRYPTION] [SCHEMABINDING] [VIEW_METADATA] [,...n] ] AS select_statement [;] [WITH CHECK OPTION] Key view Name of the view to be created. column Name to be used for a column in a view. defaults to the same name as the column(s) in the SELECT statement. select_statement The view definition. This SELECT statement can reference more than one table/view. Appropriate permissions are required. cannot include a COMPUTE or ORDER BY clause (unless SELECT TOP..) CHECK OPTION Enforce the criteria set with select_statement even when modifying the data. This only affects the view not the underlying table. ENCRYPTION Encrypts the text of the CREATE VIEW statement. SCHEMABINDING Bind the view to the schema of the underlying table or tables. VIEW_METADATA Return metadata information about the view to client APIs this allows updatable client-side cursors to address the view.
A view will always return rows in essentially random order, like a table, unless explicitly sorted: SELECT.. from View Order By..
CREATE VIEW emp_view
SELECT c.FirstName, c.LastName, s.StaffID, s.HireDate
FROM MySchema.Staff S JOIN MySchema.Customers c on c.CustomerID = c.StaffID ;
