TABLE EXPRESSION

  • Hi ! I am in the middle of a Table Expression chapter in a T-SQL book, I can't Understand what is the real life implementation of the Table or View etc. The chapter consists of :

    Derived Tables

    Common Table Expressions

    Views

    Inline Table-Valued Functions

    The APPLY Operator

    Can anyone help me and make me understood or forward some documents or Links where I can downloads materials regarding this topics.

    Please help me...

    Thanks

  • Sounds like you're reading Itzik Ben-Gan's book. Excellent resource.

    Derived tables are not the same thing as tables. A derived table is a way to use a query construct, such as a view, to act like a table. If you're really just getting started, skip back a few chapters and work your way back up to this one.
