View

A view is a DB2 object that provides an alternate way of viewing a table or another view. A view can include all or some of the columns contained in the tables on which it is defined. A view can represent one or multiple tables and views. A view can be used like a table, but a view does not occupy any space because it is merely an alternate representation of the actual data. When you select views from the Investigator, CA Chorus displays the information available in the DB2 system catalog concerning DB2 views and their related objects.
