<h1 align="center">SQL As Understood By SQLite</h1><p><a href="lang.html">[Top]</a></p><h2>CREATE VIEW</h2><h4><a href="syntaxdiagrams.html#create-view-stmt">create-view-stmt:</a></h4><blockquote> <img alt="syntax diagram create-view-stmt" src="images/syntax/create-view-stmt.gif"></img> </blockquote>
<p>The CREATE VIEW command assigns a name to a pre-packaged
<a href="lang_select.html">SELECT</a> statement.
Once the view is created, it can be used in the FROM clause
of another <a href="lang_select.html">SELECT</a> in place of a table name.
</p>
<p>If the "TEMP" or "TEMPORARY" keyword occurs in between "CREATE"
and "VIEW" then the view that is created is only visible to the
process that opened the database and is automatically deleted when
the database is closed.</p>
<p> If a <database-name> is specified, then the view is created in
the named database. It is an error to specify both a <database-name>
and the TEMP keyword on a VIEW, unless the <database-name> is "temp".
If no database name is specified, and the TEMP keyword is not present,
the VIEW is created in the main database.</p>
<p>You cannot <a href="lang_delete.html">DELETE</a>, <a href="lang_insert.html">INSERT</a>, or <a href="lang_update.html">UPDATE</a> a view. Views are read-only
in SQLite. However, in many cases you can use an
<a href="lang_createtrigger.html#instead_of_trigger">INSTEAD OF trigger</a> on the view to accomplish
the same thing. Views are removed
with the <a href="lang_dropview.html">DROP VIEW</a> command.</p>
