Is it possible to have View and table with the same name in MySQL?
No, you cannot give the same name for view and table in MySQL.
Let us first create a demo table −
mysql> create table view_Table_Demo -> ( -> Id int, -> Name varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.80 sec)
Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into view_Table_Demo values(100,'Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into view_Table_Demo values(101,'Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into view_Table_Demo values(102,'Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from view_Table_Demo;
Here is the output −
+------+-------+ | Id | Name | +------+-------+ | 100 | Larry | | 101 | Mike | | 102 | Sam | +------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here you will get an error if you try to give same name for view and table. The query and the error is as follows −
mysql> create VIEW view_Table_Demo AS SELECT * from view_Table_Demo; ERROR 1050 (42S01): Table 'view_Table_Demo' already exists NOTE: To avoid the above error, try to give different name.
