Scripting views for SQL databases
Tired of re-running queries and exporting CSVs? 🚀 In this Data Survival Skills session, Robin shows how to use SQL views to turn one-time queries into reusable datasets. With SQL Server Management Studio, she walks through saving a query as a view, using an example of tracking the most popular tour package. Once saved, views can connect directly to Excel or Power BI, refresh instantly, and be reused for reports like group size trends. Instead of repeating the same steps, views let you share, scale, and simplify reporting—saving time and keeping results consistent.
