Phase H. Configuring View Tables 

Now that all of the IMAGE and file tables your PC users need are
configured, you are ready to configure view tables.  View tables are
derived from one to 16 previously configured tables (IMAGE, file, or
view).  They can contain as many as 64 items (columns).  Both the primary
and secondary DBAs can configure view tables, but a secondary DBA must
control all the tables from which the view table configured is derived.
