Hello all,

What is the general opinion of using views instead of tables in a query?

For example, is it better to run a query against four separate tables or against a single view that already contains the relevant columns from those four tables? I know it is hard to answer this without seeing the query(s), but I'd just like a general opinion on this.

Thanks
