Forget about "security" my friend. Security is in the eye of the beholder, to quote a rhino ...

Many CPians here, mainly one's who delve in QA answers like to use the haggard old saw of "sql injection" as a crutch on which to lean ... as they stroll down memory lane ... or sit with the Queen, as it were. And I've no doubt that many of them come from a long line of viceroys/landed gentry ... but anyone asking a question here, like you ... has nothing to gain from getting nervous about IT.

Consult the Book-On-Line for details.

Read the following : View (SQL) - Wikipedia[^]

As a short summary of the above, views are queries on one or more tables to filter or aggregate table data for the connected user (usually they are read only i.e. not changeable by the viewer hence more secure).
