Here's the difference a View and Table in the context of a Delta Live Table PIpeline
- Views are similar to a temporary view in SQL and are an alias for some computation. A view allows you to break a complicated query into smaller or easier-to-understand queries. Views also allow you to reuse a given transformation as a source for more than one table. Views are available from within a pipeline only and cannot be queried interactively.
- Tables are similar to traditional materialized views. The Delta Live Tables runtime automatically creates tables in the Delta format and ensures those tables are updated with the latest result of the query that creates the table.
