I believe you will find this info in an SQL Reference along the lines of a
view is a logical table that is created at run time by a "select" statement
from one or more physical tables in the database.

Subject: MI-L What is a View table


Greeting all,

The following MapBasic statement TableInfo( table_id , TAB_INFO_TYPE)
returns a number of results depending on the table type.
One of the return types is TAB_TYPE_VIEW.

The Mapbasic manual contains the following description for this table type
"if table is actually a view; for example, StreetInfo tables are actually
views"

I can not find any other reference to tables of type "View"

Can anybody enlighten me to what a view table is, and what is its structure.

Regards
