在我看来，存储过程更多的是一种可以针对数据调用的方法，而视图提供了一种机制来创建基础数据的合成版本，可以根据它创建查询或存储过程。当简化或聚合有意义时，我将创建一个视图。当我想提供一个非常特定的服务时，我将编写一个存储过程。

可以把它看作重构数据库模式。

这并没有确切地回答你的问题，但我认为值得一提的是物化视图。我的经验主要是使用Oracle，但是SQL-Server应该是相当相似的。

We used something similar in our architecture to address XML performance problems. Our systems are designed with a lot of data stored as XML on a row and applications might need to query particular values within it. Handling lots of XMLTypes and running XPaths across large number of rows has a large impact on performance so we use a form of materialized views to extract the desired XML nodes out into a relational table anytime the base table changes. This effectively provides a physical snapshot of the query at a point in time as opposed to standard views which would run their query on demand.

我们创建view来限制或严格访问表中的所有行/列。如果所有者希望只有特定或有限的行/列需要共享，那么他将使用这些列创建一个视图。

我通常创建视图来反规范化和/或聚合经常用于报告目的的数据。

EDIT

By way of elaboration, if I were to have a database in which some of the entities were person, company, role, owner type, order, order detail, address and phone, where the person table stored both employees and contacts and the address and phone tables stored phone numbers for both persons and companies, and the development team were tasked with generating reports (or making reporting data accessible to non-developers) such as sales by employee, or sales by customer, or sales by region, sales by month, customers by state, etc I would create a set of views that de-normalized the relationships between the database entities so that a more integrated view (no pun intended) of the real world entities was available. Some of the benefits could include:

减少编写查询时的冗余 建立关联实体的标准 提供机会 评估和最大化绩效 用于复杂的计算和连接 (例如在Schemabound视图上建立索引 在该软件中) 让数据更容易获取 对于团队成员和非开发人员来说是直观的。

在对遗留数据库进行报告时，视图可能是天赐之物。特别是，您可以使用有意义的表名，而不是神秘的字母名(其中两个字母是常见的前缀!)，或者充满缩写的列名，我确信这在当时是有意义的。
