Description: MARIADB_VIEWS refers to the views created in a MariaDB database. A view is a virtual table generated from an SQL query. Unlike physical tables, views do not store data themselves; instead, they represent a set of results obtained by executing the underlying query. This allows users to simplify access to complex data, encapsulate business logic, and provide a security layer by restricting access to certain columns or rows of the underlying tables. Views can be used to present data in a more understandable way, facilitating interaction with the database. Additionally, they are useful for data normalization and report creation, as they allow combining information from multiple tables into a single query. Views in MariaDB can be updatable or non-updatable, depending on the query that defines them and the constraints applied. In summary, MARIADB_VIEWS is a powerful tool for managing and presenting data in MariaDB databases, offering flexibility and efficiency in handling information.
