You could write a program in your favourite language that selects and
prints the rows of your views.

Also you could
# create table tempviewdata as select * from <your view name>;

Why would you want to save the values of your views??



thanx for your answer.
i'm developing a database that outputs pollutant emissions that has to be imported by the GRASS _ GIS program.
in that way i can produce vector maps of the city i'm studying with pollutant emissions as attributes.
to do this, i had to put the COPERT emissions model in the database, and create views to display all the results. but i
alsoneed to save this results, if i want to open them in other programs!!!
