public class View
extends Relation
implements SQLQueryOwner

Represents a database View. Both declarative and non-declarative views are supported - the difference being their SQLQuery object (which is either just a wrapper for text, or a full parse tree depending on whether we can support the view syntax).

Since:

9.0.5
