Thanks Andrej
for your replay
I have found out some of them n are as follows, but I want more reasons
for not using views . I only got one
Advantages:
1) Permission to user can be given to access the database only
through view containing specific data the user is authorized to see
2) View convert multiple table queries into single table
queries
3) Views give personalized view
4) Views provide consistent unchanged image even if the underlying
table columns changed.
Disadvantages:
1) Performance : If a view is defined by complex multitable query,then
simple query against that view becomes a coplecated join, and it may take a
long time to complete
