CREATE VIEW | TiDB SQL Statement Reference
An overview of the usage of CREATE VIEW for the TiDB database.
reference

CREATE VIEW

The CREATE VIEW statement saves a SELECT statement as a queryable object, similar to a table. Views in TiDB are non-materialized. This means that as a view is queried, TiDB will internally rewrite the query to combine the view definition with the SQL query.
