Anybody explain the below lines in simple language so that i can understand.

A view always shows up-to-date data! The database engine uses the view's SQL statement to recreate the data each time a user queries a view.

A View is just a query stored under a specific name, e.g. you can define a view called "AllPeopleOver18": CREATE VIEW AllPeopleOver18 as ( SELECT * FROM People as p WHERE p.age > 18 ORDER BY p.lastname ) Later you can use that view by simply writing: "SELECT * FROM AllPeopleOver18" instead of the whole query over and over again
