    Using CREATE VIEW SQL

    Hi, I've got two columns, municipality (string) and population (number). And I need to create virtual table which combines these two columns.
    I was thinking to do it like this, but it doesn't seem to work. Any idea?

    I guess you're right . But the conspect of virtual tables is new to me, so I'll be happy to understand the syntax. Maybe it doens't work in MS ACCESS?

    Access doesn't have views.

    What is it you are trying to do anyway?

    What's the purpose of this 'temporary' table?

    Re: Using CREATE VIEW SQL

    Thank you Norie, that's good to know but what's the meaning that Access doesn't have views?

    This "column" (or virtual column) will be used in the where statement, like that:

    A view isn't a column - I think you're getting a bit mixed up.

    Re: Using CREATE VIEW SQL

    Thank you Kyle it works. And the critical line is this:
    municipality & ' ' & population
    The syntax is different from MySQL..

    Back to my question: specifically do we have equivalent to CREATE VIEW?

    Re: Using CREATE VIEW SQL

    No idea, I don't use access - it is missing a lot of normal database features.

    I think most things are done via 'Queries'
