Hi Sujung,

Basic difference between a table and a view is table can store data and view is something like a window through which u peep. Views are also called logical tables. Views are not for storing datas but to retrieve datas from tables. If u have a view created based on single table then u can do dml operations based on view created.

Yes u can have several tablespaces in a orion db.

Sujung,

I suggest you get your hands on a copy of the Oracle 9i DBA handbook. It will help answer some of your elemntal Oracle questions like you posted.

Good Luck!
