A derived table is SQL you (or your universe

designer) writes that will help customize your
universe a bit.
A view is a virtual table that was generated
from the physical schema.
Any change in the physical table will change
the data in the view. The data changes in the
derived table when it updates as well.

A derived table is created

in the universe and will be
used as an InLine View in
the SQL code generated by
a data provider. Derived
tables can use @PROMPT
syntax!
A view is created in the
database.
