I've been around quite a bit of SQL, and views are great. But they're not exactly as easy as assigning to a variable. If I followed your logic per compressibility I'd have to be creating views - permanent global objects - for almost every query I write. Do you create views every time you need to write some ad-hoc SQL?

And much worse problem is naming them correctly. And maintaining in such global-only space. But just give up, you hit the wall. Many people tried for decades to make this argument, but every time it was raised you’d see this thread full of people who see no problems. There is a lot of powerful, unrepeatable-in-your-lifetime software behind stupidest frontends that you can’t bypass, because most people write only straightforward code with no need for any abstractions beyond what was given to them.
