Re: Are selects defined in view faster than run-time selects?

If you see a view as a stored SELECT-statement with a name, without any physical representation...then there's no reason for a view to be faster.

The only difference is, that part of the parsing work (syntax and semantic check) already happened. But that's no big performance gain.
