As long as you have select privileges to a table, you can make an image copy of that table under your own user-id. You can also choose to select only specified columns from an existing table for your new table. Be aware that creating a table in this manner introduces data duplication into the database and exposes the database to anomalies. A view is a database object, but it is a virtual table. It has no storage of its own but can be used in much the same manner as a table.
Views remain dynamic and always reflect the data from the underlying tables.
Whenever data within a table is changed any views created from that table will also change. Through a view you can limit the information specific users see. Look at the results table returned when you select all columns from this view.
