Hi Doug,
That's a pretty broad question!
In addition to Joe Celko's list, here are some more:
* If the same logic has to be used in many different queries, a regular
view is great.
* If a lot of queries use aggregated data of a large table, an indexed
view can speed up performance tremendously.
This is just of the top of my head. I'm sure there are more situations
where a view is a good solution.
