Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for efficiently creating views from columns of a table, comprising: associating a first column having first values in a set of rows from said table as a first view of said table that displays said first column with said first values in said set of rows; associating a second column having second values in said set of rows from said table as a second view of said table that displays said second column with said second values in said set of rows; combining said first view with said second view, thereby efficiently creating a third view that displays said first column and said second column with said first values and said second values in said rows; and displaying in full one of said first view, said second view, and said third view with a thumbnail image of each of said first view, said second view, and said third view that is not displayed in full, wherein said thumbnail image provides an indication of columns in that thumbnail image, and wherein selection of said thumbnail image displays the columns in that thumbnail image in full.
