I have created a view, called april_may.   I need to select this view by
combineing to fields in the database to create the view name etc ...

 

Create view as select * from table_X;

 

I need to do something like this ... 

 

Select * from (select table.start_month||_||table.end_month);

==================

Start_month  = april

End_month = May

 

What I what to pass to the select is the combination of the 2 fields as
the view name.

 

Any ideas ?
