A database view is a virtual table produced by a stored query over database tables. It presents related data without requiring users to repeatedly assemble it themselves. section 5.9
Views are useful when a normalized design separates records across several tables but applications still need a unified way to inspect the original data. A view can preserve data integrity while making raw records easier to retrieve and troubleshoot. section 5.9
Combining ACH records
The combined_ach_records view joins related ACH record tables and uses UNION ALL to expose the uploaded ACH file as one searchable result, without processing changes. section 5.9
