A logical view enables you to model a complex dataset. This allows 3rd-party applications to access complex datasets in the same manner that they can access simple tables. You can also define analytical views because the Analytical View Builder 'perceives' logical views as tables.
A logical view may contain any valid SQL, therefore enabling the use of analytical view acceleration for more query types: to accelerate data requests over joins, sub-selects, unions, and so on. For a deeper discussion of this topic, see Routing Queries Through Analytical Views with Logical View.
You can create analytical views over logical views to accelerate queries over the entire dataset. See Analytical Views.
