Sorry that make a lot of sense to me (Nested SQL Views are slower). A view
has to be used in a query and is nothing more than a suggestion to the
query engine how to process. The SQE uses the information to develop a run
time plan. That is what is being run when you run the query.

The first time the query runs it might be a bit slower because the query
engine has to build a plan but after that unless something changes
dramatically in the database it will just keep executing that access plan
and won't even look at the view.

What you need to know is what is causing the query to run slower(Visual
Explain).

Views are great but stacking them (view within a view) will have negative
performance on SQL rom my experience. It's far better to simply add the
code you are nesting into one view. The more you "stack" the worse the
performance

Subject: RE: SQL Views worth it?

My limited experience with SQL views (and views within views) for
reporting is that they are invaluable. You also have tools (index advisor)
that can improve performance dramatically. Running tools like DB2 WebQuery
and others would have been nearly impossible with our legacy database,
without using SQL views.

Personally, I would not be thinking about DDS described logical files.
Just my humble opinion.

Subject: SQL Views worth it?

Hi,

I'm developing a new application and trying to have the DB do as much of
the work as possible.
So, I'm incorporating SQL Views but finding the throughput underwhelming.
Granted that some of the views are based on other views (in keeping with
the attempt to have the DB do some work for me) but it appears that every
time a view is queried the views are rebuilt by the OS.

I read somewhere that Views can be considered somewhat like logical files,
but at least logicals can be set to have immediate updates as underlying
physicals change.
Views have no such attribute settings.

So, what's considered best practices for SQL Views?
Should I just rewrite these things as logicals?

Thomas Garvey
