Explain difference between view and materialized view?



Explain difference between view and materialized view?..

Answer / Mahesh Kumar

"A view is a virtual table in a database that contains the result set of an SQL query. When a user accesses a view, the database executes the underlying query to retrieve the data. A materialized view, on the other hand, is a pre-computed and physically stored version of a view. This allows for faster query performance because the data does not need to be recomputed each time the view is accessed."
