Description: View retrieval is the process of retrieving data from a view in a database. A view is a virtual representation of one or more tables, allowing users to access a specific set of data without directly interacting with the underlying tables. This approach provides an abstraction layer that simplifies data querying, enhances security by restricting access to sensitive information, and allows for the customization of data presentation. Views can include filters, joins, and calculations, making them powerful tools for data manipulation and visualization. View retrieval is commonly used in database management systems (DBMS) to facilitate access to complex information and optimize query performance, as it enables users to work with a more manageable and relevant dataset tailored to their specific needs.
