View question

Hi All,
 
Thanks Josh for the help on the last question.  Is there a way to create a view so I can insert parameters?
The docs have the example:
 
create view kinds as select * from movies where type = 'Comedy';
 
select * from kinds;
 
What if I want a view where the type is a variable?  Is there a way to pass data along?
 
    Thanks

Hi Glenn,

Just make the column "type" part of the view.  Then use a WHERE when you
select from the view.
