+## Views
+
+When query performance is acceptable, or for less frequent queries where you don't need materialization, use views to abstract complex queries:
+
+```questdb-sql
+CREATE VIEW recent_trades AS (
+  SELECT * FROM trades
+  WHERE timestamp > dateadd('d', -7, now())
+);
+```
+
+Views can be parameterized using `DECLARE OVERRIDABLE`:
+
+```questdb-sql
+CREATE VIEW trades_above AS (
+  DECLARE OVERRIDABLE @min_price := 100
+  SELECT * FROM trades WHERE price >= @min_price
+);
+
+-- Override at query time
+DECLARE @min_price := 500 SELECT * FROM trades_above;
+```
