Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Corporate Acceptance of Creating Views ?
Is it true that in general corporate enviornment, the use of Views is
discouraged ? even frowned up ?
I was working with this "seasoned" developer on developing reports, I am new
to the Oracle enviornment
and she insisted that I should NOT use views if at all possible, preferablly
not at all.
"You should be able to get all the data you need with straight SQL...even if
it have to go for pages !"
"...you are creating yet another dependency...it's another object that has
to be maintained !......"
The thing was with tools like Crystal Reports, it does not handle manual SQL
very well (requires
a separate file to store the query)
Is this true ? Was she full of bs ?
thanks
