A view is a database object that is of a stored query - a view can be accessible as a virtual table in PostgreSQL In other words, a PostgreSQL view is a logical table that represents data of one or more underlying tables through a SELECT statement — The view essentially shows you the results of a query, without actually storing the results physically I'm imagining it as an alias for a complex SELECT query instead of saying SELECT blah blah and JOIN all the things, just save the query under an alias and use it as `SELECT * FROM cool_alias`
