View Selection Question

I’ve got a question relating to how a view selects data from an underlying table.


If there is a table called person and it looks like this:
PersonID
Last Name
FirstName

I create a view off of the table like this:

Create View Person_View as
Select
PersonID,
Last Name,
FirstName,
From Person

And I write a query like this

Select PersonID from Person_View

How does this get translated to the table?

Does the view select all three columns even though I specified one column in the query?

BTW, this is SQL Server 2005 if it makes a difference.

Thanks!:cool:
