what you are asking is potentially dangerorus...
you can achieve the desired result UNIONing the desired views specifying the
INTO clause of the SELECT statement, thus effectively creating a new base
table with the output of the SELECT statement... constraints and indexes
associated with the base objects will not be generated, but as you are in
this case dealing with views, chances are that non keys nor indexes are
present...
the dangerous part is about persistency of the new table... it will not be
updated as the base tables of the referencing views will be...
thus what you are getting is a static snapshot f the point in time you
"created" your new table...
and, except perhaps for reporting tasks, I actually do not see a reason to
perform this operation as you are actually doubbling storage requirements,
you are breaking normalization and so on... again, I can see only a static
reporting requirement, say you need to have a point in time "view" of your
sales, and you need it all a month long, then you can do it, regenerating
this dump (but real) table at each month beginning...

Virtual function pointers (& multiple inheritance?)

virtual table, type_info node, type_info function

by: skscpp | last post by:

I "think" I understand why a virtual table needs to be constructed when polymorphic classes are being compiled. Now, I also know what a type_info function and type_info node are although I am not sure "when" they are constructed by the compiler? Also, any books which talks about any of these 3 subjects in detail or semi-detail would be nice. Thanks.

CREATE INDEX on large table

by: dfurtney | last post by:

SQL Server 7/2000: We have reasonably large tables (3,000,000 rows) that we need to add some indexes for. In a test, it took over 12 hours to CREATE a new INDEX against this table. One of us suggested that we create a temp table with the new index and copy the data from the old table into the new one, then rename it. I understand this took 15 minutes. Why the heck would it be faster to move the data and build multiple indexes...

virtual table and shared memory

by: Bernard | last post by:

Hi, Is there a way to have the virtual table of c++ objects allocated in shared memory (in fact in the same address space as the object is) instead of having it allocated in the process address space ? This could be useful to share objects between processes without having to call the constructor of the object twice (I think it is the constructor that is creating the virtual table, right ?) Thanks

virtual table; override; new, question

by: relient | last post by:

I'm learning about the virtual table in association with virtual methods. I got most of the logic and understanding down (I believe) for when you use 'override' and no 'override' or no 'new' modifier. What I'm trying to figure out now is what happens when you do use modifier 'new' on a derived class method inherited from the base class? My understanding for the override mechanism with the following code: class Base
