Just yesterday a developer was having a performance problem with a complicated report was taking about 7 minutes to complete. She was grabbing the table data and doing all the sorting, summing, etc. in the report. I created four views to feed the report. It now runs in less than a minute. In this case, a view makes sense.
I also caught developers using the same SQL over and over. I created views from their statements and it makes their life easier. Jerry Whittle ACIFICS DBA NCI Information Systems Inc.
