Bellow my sql query for creating view and drop view:

SQL Create View Query

 
CREATE VIEW view_user_data AS 
SELECT  
    users.id,  
    users.name,  
    users.email, 
    (SELECT count(*) FROM posts 
            WHERE posts.user_id = users.id 
        ) AS total_posts, 
    (SELECT count(*) FROM comments 
            WHERE comments.user_id = users.id 
        ) AS total_comments 
FROM users 

SQL Drop View Query

 
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS `view_user_data`; 

Now we need to use this query on our live database with laravel migration. so let's create migration with views.

Create Migration:

 
php artisan make:migration create_user_view 

Update Migration File:

 
<?php 
   
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; 
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; 
   
class CreateUserView extends Migration 
{ 
    /** 
     * Run the migrations. 
     * 
     * @return void 
     */ 
    public function up() 
    { 
        \DB::statement($this->createView()); 
    } 
    
    /** 
     * Reverse the migrations. 
     * 
     * @return void 
     */ 
    public function down() 
    { 
        \DB::statement($this->dropView()); 
    } 
    
    /** 
     * Reverse the migrations. 
     * 
     * @return void 
     */ 
    private function createView(): string 
    { 
        return
