If you want to a view on an existing table, you can use the CREATE VIEW statement in a simple syntax:

CREATE VIEW view_name AS SELECT ...

The tutorial exercise below shows you how to create a view to represent sub set of data stored in ggl_links table:

USE GlobalGuideLineDatabase;

GO

CREATE VIEW ggl_links_top AS

SELECT id, counts, url FROM ggl_links

WHERE counts > 100;

GO

SELECT TOP 10 * FROM ggl_link_top;

GO

id  counts url
