Generally speaking, a 'View' is a term used to describe a virtual table within a database.

I don't recall hearing the term 'View' applied to Data Manager.
Generally speaking, you can select from a 'View' in the same way as you would select from a table.

Data manager can not create views, it creates tables.
Although, it's possible some databases might not allow a table if a view exists with the same name.
