====== Views ====== Views have been introduced in MySQL 5. Views are virtual tables, in that they do not store any data, but rather store a query to dynamically retrieve data from other tables. ===== Create View ===== CREATE VIEW viewname AS SELECT ... ===== Showing the query of a View ===== SHOW CREATE VIEW viewname ===== Example ===== CREATE VIEW media_usage AS SELECT media.label AS Media_Label, MAX(scenes.end_min + (scenes.end_sec / 60)) AS Time_Used FROM scenes LEFT JOIN media ON scenes.media_id = media.media_id GROUP BY scenes.media_id;
