create view???

Hello All!

Is there any way I can create a view which can only access between 5am and 6 pm. During any other times, Nobody can access.

Please help !!!

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emp_daily
AS
SELECT *
FROM emp
WHERE to_number(to_char(sysdate,'HH24')) BETWEEN 5 AND 17

Try

create view testit as
select * from dual
where sysdate between trunc(sysdate)+17/24 and trunc(sysdate)+18/24;

This will return rows during the specified time period, and no rows found at other times.

The drawback with this approach, is this: Does 'no rows found' mean that there is no data, or just that we are outside the specified time period.

It may help though.
