- I think one should write queries against views and not against tables. I tend to think people who use query builders tend not to write views or ask DBAs to create them for them. In doing so they don't leverage all the power of the RDBMS.Tulains Córdova– Tulains Córdova2016-02-02 01:38:05 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 1:38
- 1@user61852: Other than possibly some security and filtering for free, what can queries against views provide that queries against tables cannot also provide?Robert Harvey– Robert Harvey2016-02-02 05:15:12 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 5:15
- 4@RobertHarvey The same thing that programming to interfaces instead of concrete classes. Decoupling and flexibility. The design of the underlying tables could chance as long as the "contract", the view, remains "simulating" the same columns as ever.Tulains Córdova– Tulains Córdova2016-02-02 08:35:45 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 8:35

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
