What is the difference between derived table and views? which one gives better performance?..

Answer / pradeep mishra

Always View is better than Derived Tabels because it
fetches the Data Directly through the Database So as per
the Performance related it's too good.
But,When we want to use @Function (@variable,@prompt) in
your Query that time it's only possible in Derived
Table,not in the VIEWS.

Answer / prasanna.ramesh1

a derived table is dynamic,virtual table that you create
within universe structure.it consists of set of sql
statements that you create in designer and you can use it as
a logical table to create objects.

in the derived table sql set,you can put a select statement
in place of table name in the from clause.sql set can also
contain embeded prompts and you can create joins between
embeded physical tables ,just as you can with other tables.

derived tables can be used in place of database
views,aggregate tables,lookup tables.

by using derived table we are processing load from the
report server to the database.

views are also virtual tables which are created in database
level and can make use in universe.but we can not create
them in universe structure.

I am working on Business Objects-reporting side. Database is Teradata. I have two questions here: 1. We will be working only on Infoview on QA environment. Do I need to add ODBC entries for the QA database server on my machine to be able to create/refresh Infoview reports? I will not be using Desk_I or Web_I rich client. 2. Once reports are developed,Admin team would migrate the reports to Production and make these available to business users. The reports are Refresh on Open. Would the business users need to have the ODBC entries of Production database server in their machines to be able to refresh these reports?
