Save Time by Creating Views in SQL
- Creating views in SQL can save time for programmers and allow for faster data access and organization.
- Views are pre-formatted queries that can be saved and called, ultimately eliminating the need to re-write code.
- While not necessary for every query written, views should be created for common logic and frequently accessed queries.
- Views can be joined together to encapsulate logic or create tables for tens or hundreds of millions of rows.
- Views are not inherently fast, but can be optimized and used to pull the most recent data.
- Going through views daily can help catch mistakes and improve logic which ultimately speeds up data analysis.
- By creating layers and reusable code, programmers can focus on data quality and analysis rather than figuring out how to pull the data repeatedly.
- Creating a fact layer that uses the cleanest views that programmers have created can serve as a single source of truth.
- In the end, organizing and creating views will improve proficiency and make data analysis a smoother and more efficient process for all involved.
- These views can be beneficial to data scientists, data analysts and data engineers creating pipelines for everyone involved in the data management process.
