View

A View, also called a View Node, publishes a SQL view in your warehouse. Views do not store data separately. They execute their defining query when queried.

View Nodes suit presentation layers, security filters, or logic you do not need to materialize. Deploy still creates or replaces the view object in the warehouse.

View Nodes are one of the built-in Node Types. You can duplicate the type or author custom types when you need different deploy behavior.

See Nodes and Node Types for when to use views versus tables.
