下面是如何使用视图以及权限来限制用户可以在表中更新的列。

/* This creates the view, limiting user to only 2 columns from MyTestTable */
CREATE VIEW dbo.myTESTview 
WITH SCHEMABINDING AS
SELECT ID, Quantity FROM dbo.MyTestTable;

/* This uses the view to execute an update on the table MyTestTable */
UPDATE dbo.myTESTview
SET Quantity = 7
WHERE ID = 1

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.

可以把它看作重构数据库模式。

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。

在其他方面，它可以用于安全。如果您有一个“customer”表，您可能希望让所有销售人员访问名称、地址、邮政编码等字段，但不允许credit_card_number。您可以创建一个只包含他们需要访问的列的视图，然后授予他们对视图的访问权。
