A view is a virtual table that is created from the result set of a SQL query. It does not contain any data itself, but rather references the underlying tables and columns. For example, a view can be created to show the total number of orders from a certain time period.
A table is a physical representation of data in a database. It contains the actual data that is stored in the database. For example, a table can be created to store customer information, such as name, address, and phone number.
