Description: The deletion of a view in SQL refers to the process of removing a previously created view from a database. A view is a virtual table generated from an SQL query, allowing users to access data in a simplified and structured manner. When a view is deleted, its definition is removed, but the underlying data in the original tables remains intact. This process is carried out using the ‘DROP VIEW’ command followed by the name of the view to be deleted. It is important to consider any dependencies that may exist, as other queries or views may be using the view being deleted. Deleting views is a common operation in database management, especially when changes are made to the data structure or when a view is no longer needed. Additionally, it is a best practice to keep the database clean and organized by removing obsolete or unnecessary views to improve performance and clarity of the database schema.
