How do I create a view in MySQL?
To create a view in MySQL, you can use CREATE VIEW command. The syntax is as follows −
CREATE VIEW yourViewName as SELECT yourColumName1, yourColumName2, yourColumName3,...... yourColumNameN from yourTableName;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table first. The following is the query to create a table −
mysql> create table ViewDemo −> ( −> Id int, −> Name varchar(200), −> Age int −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)
Implement the above syntax to create a view. The following is the query to create a view in MySQL −
mysql> create view LookUpTable as select Id,Name from ViewDemo; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.15 sec)
Now check the view is created or not using show command. The query is as follows −
mysql> show create table LookUpTable;
The following is the output −
+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | View | Create View | character_set_client | collation_connection | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | lookuptable | CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED DEFINER=`root`@`%` SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW `lookuptable` AS select `viewdemo`.`Id` AS `Id`,`viewdemo`.`Name` AS `Name` from `viewdemo` | utf8 | utf8_general_ci | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
