## Description

The `get_view()` and `create_view()` functions let you save either an existing view or a newly created view into a variable.

## Syntax

Use the `get_view()` method to get an existing view:

```python
my_view = project.get_view('my_view')
```

Or, the `create_view()` method to create a view:

```python
my_view = project.create_view(
    'view_name',
    mysql_demo_db.query('SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 100')
)
```
