performance diff - using a sub query or a view

    I have a view where I need to use a sub query in the from clause

    select

    :

    :

    from

    (

    select a, b, c from X....

    )

    Is there any perfomance difference if I use the sub-query "(select a, b, c from X.... )" in a view and then use the view in the final query. Is there any performance difference between the view approach and the sub-query approach? I feel that the sub-query performs better. Please advise.

    DB developers are not allowed to feel anything.

    They must KNOW.

    If they don't know they must TEST.

    Try both ways and see fir yourself.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
