What is the difference between views and stored procedures ?

Hi Nacereddine and Ramesh! Thanks for reaching out. @: Nacereddine Thanks for sharing this piece of information with the Community! @: Ramesh A view is intended to be regarded similarly to a table, it gives an overview of combination of data from different tables. A routine can also include different operations than just reading data, it could also be used for other CRUD operations like insertion, updating or deleting data. You cannot do that with a view. A view represents a virtual table. You can join multiple tables in a view and use the view to present the data as if the data were coming from a single table. A stored procedure uses parameters to do a function. It can be updating and inserting data, or returning single values or data sets. Hope this helps. Best, Tsvetelin
