Working with Views

When you want a customized and updateable data set for your application, you can create and use views. Views combine the qualities of tables and queries by providing a way to extract a set of data from one or more related tables.

You can retrieve data from local or remote data sources by creating and using local and remote views, create views from multiple tables or based on other views, update data from multiple tables, customize views, use views to display data, update views, and move data offline for manipulation.
