I have created view in sql server 2005.

SQL

create view TestView
as
select Id,StuName from Student

I can also use sql query in my code as

SQL

select Id, StuName from Student

instead of

SQL

select * from TestView

in which i have mentioned

SQL

select Id,StuName from Student

what is the difference between these two.

Here is an insight into views;

All your answers on why you should want to use them are in there.

Also, you should never query Select * unless you absolutely must, it has the potential to crash you app all to easily if there are millions of record in the source table, it also returns all the columns, and you maybe only need a couple of them, e.g. Id and StuName.

What needs explaining? The article gives you valid reasons when to use views, what limitations exist when using views etc. just read it.
