We like to encapsulate SQL statements into VIEWS. When you create say
VIEW_2 by selecting from say VIEW_1, I don't know if there is a proper name
for that. I like to say cascading views. This technique can greatly
simplify SQL statements and gives you some control over how the query
engine runs.

I am asking the wrong question because I don't know enough to frame the
question correctly.

I have an sql situation which is too complicated for me to grasp all of
one piece. I would like to do half the process into a smaller file, and
then complete the process on that smaller file.

What I am thinking is process A which gathers 12 or so fields from 3
very large files and then processes B through G which expand, group
and/or orders those fields in various ways, as needed for various web
services.

I realize I can create a file in QTEMP and then draw from that, but it
occurs to me that I must not be the first to have this problem; maybe I
should stop, look, and listen. SQL has surprised me before and no doubt
will again.
